Heat safety is easier with OSHA’s updated smartphone app in your pocket. Their Heat Safety Tool calculates the current heat index—how hot it feels. Local temperature and humidity greatly affect workers. High temperatures and humidity can make the air feel much hotter than it actually is. Often, a worker’s sweat can’t evaporate as easily, making them susceptible to heat illnesses. In this podcast, Dan Clark relays details of the updated, free application from OSHA. The iPhone/iPad version has a full makeover. The Android and Blackberry versions have modest updates. See the links in the transcript for the free downloads.
