by Daniel Oswald, from the Community

10+

Use this Heat Hazard Assessment to evaluate environmental and work factors that drive heat stress risk on site. Capture temperature, humidity, wind speed, and solar irradiance, then apply WBGT to determine risk level. Take multiple readings across the day, including start of shift and after breaks. Document controls that match the rating, such as hydration, shade, work rest cycles, supervision, and emergency response. Avoid relying only on heat index, which omits wind, radiant heat, clothing, and exertion. Designed for field teams to standardize checks and reduce heat related illness.

Extreme Heat Preparedness Plan Checklist
This Extreme Heat Preparedness Plan Checklist helps organizations protect workers during high temperatures. It guides teams through actions before, during, and after heat events: confirm heat index awareness, designate emergency plans and contacts, verify cooling options and ventilation, stock water, ice, and supplies, and prepare backup power. During heat, promote hydration, light clothing, shaded or air-conditioned rest areas, adjusted schedules to avoid peak heat, and awareness of symptoms of heat stress, exhaustion, and stroke. After heat, continue hydration, check on personnel, inspect equipment for heat damage, and capture improvements for future events. Includes sign-off and reviewer fields for accountability.

Heat Stress Risk Assessment
Use this checklist to assess and control heat stress risks before outdoor or hot environment work. It guides teams to calculate risk using weather and a heat stress calculator, verify training, provide shade, PPE and wide brim hats, ensure cool drinks and rest breaks, plan work in cooler hours, assign buddies, confirm first aid and emergency access, and implement communication plans. Includes prompts for acclimatisation, medical considerations, and adding extra controls. Managers must complete a heat stress management plan for medium to extreme risk and attach the assessment and signatures.
