SAFETY TIP
What is the Heat Index?
The heat index is a measure indicating the level of discomfort the average person is thought to
experience as a result of the combined effects of the temperature and humidity of the air.
Free App Tool to Identify the Heat Index – There is a free app available from OSHA and NIOSH that provides the following:
• Heat index for your area
• Precautions with risk level recommendations
• Hourly forecast – you can scroll through the day to determine the hottest hours and
corresponding risk levels
• Symptoms and first aid for heat related illnesses
The heat index can be used as a screening tool, so that supervisors and workers can more easily
recognize when additional preventive options should be implemented. For example, as the heat index increases then more water and rest breaks may become necessary. In addition, if conditions are of extreme risk, then it may be necessary to reschedule non-essential work.
