Helps has Alarm which is great

Need to be updated, when in danger it should read on same page when working outside in direct sunlight breaks should be rotated ever XYZ minutes, drink xyz liquid and shade.

Also there should be the OSHA rule on the app. Reminders to everyone what happens if you have heat stroke or exhaustion. The part not talked about is after recovery, how you can no longer take the heat as you did. How this illness does XYZ to the body .

Many do not know, and until educated wont. Unfortunately we can’t rely on all companies having the training resources. So at a minimum OSHA should add training to app., this I can promise will save a life and a few from getting the illness. That’s all you need is one to make this app pay itself off and 5 star rating.

Perfect quick reference

With work not having a heat break schedule in place, I would like to start using this simple tool as a reference to when it gets too hot. I’d like to request a push notification feature for when hazards reach the warning and danger zones. Or a heat index we can set based on our company heat break policy, if it gets established.

Numbers are off

Used this app successfully last two years. It always matched the temperature and humidity for an accurate calculation. This year it’s off by several degrees. This is dangerous for me because I have a medical condition and must be inside when heat index reaches 104. Will have to look for another app that is more accurate. Very disappointed.
