Outdoor worker heat safety

Checklists + digital WBGT for hot jobsites

City × industry heat checklists that pair with digital WBGT.

HeatReady Guides publishes practical heat illness prevention pages for construction, roofing, landscaping, utilities, agriculture, and delivery crews — then points you to GOES digital WBGT (wet-bulb globe temperature) and live heat-risk scores so crews act on more than air temperature alone. Print the checklist. Watch the score. Keep people safer.

Why this exists

Weather apps say “103°F.” Crews need “15-minute cool-down every 45 minutes, hydrate 8–12 oz every 15–20 minutes, shade up, buddy check” — and a heat score that reflects humidity, sun, and radiant load, not air temp alone. We publish the checklist; GOES delivers digital WBGT and live heat-risk scores.

By city

Phoenix, Houston, Las Vegas, Dallas, Miami, Tucson — climate and local context that matter on the ground.

By industry

Construction, roofing, landscaping, utilities, agriculture, delivery — different PPE, work rates, and shade options.

Printable & plain

Checklists, trigger tables, emergency steps. Mobile-first. Works without JavaScript. Print-friendly.

Why WBGT beats air temp

Wet-bulb globe temperature folds in humidity, radiant heat (sun / steel / asphalt), and air movement — closer to what outdoor crews feel than a dry-bulb “103°F” alone. Use HeatReady triggers with GOES digital WBGT when conditions climb.

Digital WBGT from GOES

Pair each guide with GOES digital WBGT and live heat-risk scores so supervisors can escalate water–rest–shade from a live signal, not just the airport forecast.

Plan + live score

Static checklists set the program. Digital WBGT tells you when today’s worksite crossed into the next control band — see the GOES platform.

Not legal advice. HeatReady Guides summarize common best practices aligned with publicly available OSHA / NIOSH heat guidance and general state/local awareness. Your obligations depend on federal, state, and local rules for your worksite. Confirm with your safety counsel or compliance team.

Digital WBGT & live heat-risk scores

GOES delivers digital wet-bulb globe temperature (WBGT) and live heat-risk scores — so outdoor crews escalate water, rest, and shade from a heat metric built for the jobsite, not air temperature alone. Explore the GOES platform for enterprise workflows or the app for individuals and crews.

GOES provides guidance. It is not a substitute for professional medical care.
