OSHA has recently embarked on an awareness campaign<\/a> to warn employers of the dangers of heat related illnesses, and how current conditions are leading to an increase in incidents caused by high temperatures and heat index (also known as the \u201cfeels like\u201d temperature). Part of OSHA\u2019s guidance includes monitoring conditions to warn of situations that could be hazardous to employees. Room Alert offers both temperature and heat index monitoring along with guidance features that allow users to set alerts based around accepted heat index thresholds with just a few clicks. By receiving immediate alerts to potentially hazardous conditions, employers can take steps to ensure their employees are adequately hydrated, taking breaks, and aware of conditions that may impact themselves and their fellow co-workers.
