Phones or smartphones from Android to Apple iPhones have become the standards in our lives. The following are a few of the free apps that can assist with maintaining a safer workplace.
Available in English and Spanish at http://tinyurl.com/3e673ue, this app allows workers and supervisors to calculate the heat index for their worksite and based on the heat index displays a risk level to outdoor workers. Then, with a simple click you can get reminders about the protective measures that should be taken at that risk level to protect workers from heat-related illness. Reminders include drinking enough fluids, scheduling rest breaks, planning for and knowing what to do in an emergency, adjusting work operations, gradually building up the workload for new hires, training on heat illness signs and symptoms, and monitoring each other for signs and symptoms of heat-related illness.
