HeatShield for Crews
A wearable-friendly heat safety app for outdoor employers that turns NIOSH/OSHA heat-index thresholds into scheduled water breaks, shade reminders, and a supervisor dashboard so companies avoid heat-illness incidents and fines.
Safety managers and field supervisors at construction, roofing, landscaping, and delivery companies
- Hourly heat-index forecast tied to the exact job-site GPS, not a regional number
- Auto-scheduled 15-minute cool-down pushes to crew phones when WBGT crosses action limits
- Supervisor dashboard logging breaks taken and any heat-related symptoms reported
- One-tap incident report with timestamped conditions, ready for OSHA recordkeeping
