Heat index recording made simple!

  • IHIPP Compliance Automation
  • Audit-ready reporting

Hourly heat index recording for California construction sites and warehouses with timestamped condition records that support your Cal/OSHA indoor heat illness prevention plan, without Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

The Problem

Heat Risk Is Always On. Your Recording Should Be Too.

Heat Stroke

Core body temperature exceeds 104°F -- a life-threatening emergency. Cal/OSHA requires an emergency response plan before conditions reach this level.

Regulatory Exposure

Cal/OSHA conducts targeted inspections during high-heat periods. No written plan, no documentation, and no monitoring can each constitute a citable violation.

Lost Productivity

Heat slows output long before anyone calls a stoppage. Unscheduled breaks, worker absence, and reduced quality push projects off schedule and over budget.

Section applies; basic duties activate
  • Provide free, fresh, cool drinking water (1 qt/employee/hr minimum)
  • Establish and maintain cool-down area(s) below 82°F at all times
  • Allow preventive cool-down rest at any time; monitor employee; minimum 5-minute rest
  • Establish written IHIPP in English and language understood by majority of employees
  • Train all employees and supervisors before exposure to heat risk
  • Implement emergency response procedures

Title 8, §3396(a)(2)(A-B) and §3396(e)
Full control measure obligations
  • Measure temperature and heat index; record whichever is greater (date, time, location)
  • Retain records 12 months or until next measurement, whichever is later
  • Identify and evaluate all environmental risk factors for heat illness
  • Apply engineering controls to reduce temp and heat index below 87°F (fans, A/C, ventilation, exhaust, radiant heat shielding)
  • Where engineering controls are infeasible: apply administrative controls (rotation, scheduling, work/rest schedules)
  • Where engineering and admin controls are insufficient: use personal heat-protective equipment (cooling vests, wetted garments, supplied-air cooling)
  • Closely observe new/returning employees for first 14 days of work in qualifying area
  • Closely observe all employees during a heat wave

When employees wear clothing restricting heat removal,¹ or work in a high radiant heat area²
Title 8, §3396(a)(2)(C-D) and §3396(e)
Same full §3396(e) obligations as 87°F row above
  • All actions in the 87°F row above apply
  • Engineering controls must reduce temperature below 82°F (not 87°F) for these workers
  • Measurement, recordkeeping, and 14-day acclimatization observation requirements all apply

1 Clothing restricting heat removal means full-body coverage (arms, legs, torso) that is waterproof, designed to protect against chemical/biological/physical/radiological/fire hazards, or designed to protect against contamination. Standard workwear made only of knit or woven breathable fibers worn in lieu of street clothing without a vapor barrier is explicitly excluded.

2 High radiant heat area means a work area where globe temperature is 5°F or more greater than dry-bulb temperature (§3396(b)(11)).

Note on IHIPP: The indoor plan (§3396) is formally called the "Indoor Heat Illness Prevention Plan" (IHIPP). Employers must maintain this as a written document in English and any language understood by the majority of employees.

Why monitoring records matter: Cal/OSHA's High Hazard Units conduct targeted inspections in construction and warehouse environments, particularly during high-heat periods. CLīMIT's timestamped logs demonstrate that environmental conditions were measured and tracked. These records can support your team's preparation for inspections and internal safety reviews. CLīMIT is an environmental monitoring tool and is not a substitute for a written Heat Illness Prevention Plan, required training, shade, water, or other program elements required under Cal/OSHA §3395 or §3396.
