Working in Hot Environments - Camp Move
This field verification checklist helps assess how contractors manage heat stress during camp moves in hot environments. It guides checks on worker training and awareness, documented procedures and risk registers, hydration monitoring, availability of water and electrolytes, scheduling rig moves during cooler periods, supervision of drivers and electricians, shade and refuge, recognition of heat stress signs, and emergency response planning. Use it to improve heat stress controls and protect crews during rig-up, rig-down, and relocation activities.

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.

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.
