Stop tracking acclimatization in a spreadsheet.

New hires and returning crew stay flagged for 14 days without anyone maintaining a separate roster. RestShade pulls start and return dates into Today and the site log. Most days you do nothing. When heat thresholds cross, you see who is still in the window before the supervisor signs off.

The problem

Start dates live in payroll. Heat watch lives in someone's head. The people most likely to get sick are the ones nobody is watching.

How RestShade helps

RestShade turns payroll dates into a live acclimatization list on the board supervisors already open each morning. No spreadsheet, no sticky note, no guessing who joined last week.

What you walk away with

Names on screen, not a rule about watching new hires
The window closes on its own after 14 days
Returning workers flagged after time away, not just new hires

What RestShade handles

14-day window from crew start dates and return dates
Flags appear on Today and on the site log when action thresholds hit
Included in the inspector packet as an acclimatization list
Matches the acclimatization language in CA, MD, and NEP guidance

How it works

RestShade reads start and return dates Crew records carry the dates that trigger the 14-day window. No separate roster to maintain.
Flags appear when heat duties apply On action days, Today shows who is still acclimatizing before the supervisor signs the log.
The list travels with the packet When someone asks for proof, the acclimatization names are already in the download.

Frequently asked questions

Why 14 days? It is the window California and Maryland both use for newly exposed workers, and it lines up with federal guidance on gradual heat exposure.
What counts as returning? Typically seven or more consecutive days away, which is the Maryland threshold. Set the return date and RestShade restarts the flag.
Does this replace supervision? No. It makes sure the supervisor knows who to watch. The watching is still the job.
