The daily weather record should write itself.
Foremen have better things to do than transcribe forecasts into forms. RestShade watches weather at every site, creates action-day records when thresholds cross, and marks mild days all clear. Most days you do nothing. When something requires a signed log, RestShade flags the site and assembles the record.
The problem
Daily weather logs fail when they depend on someone remembering to transcribe a forecast. Mild days get skipped, hot days get logged late, and the inspector packet is assembled from three sources the week before the visit.
How RestShade helps
RestShade automates the daily weather file: monitoring runs in the background, action-day logs appear when duties change, and inspector packets build from data already collected.
What you walk away with
- Action-day records created when thresholds cross, not on every calendar day
- All-clear days marked automatically so mild weather does not create busywork
- Inspector packets built from logs RestShade already maintains
What RestShade handles
- Background monitoring writes the weather file when duties change
- Heat, smoke, and NEP thresholds evaluated per site jurisdiction
- Signed action-day logs with supervisor attribution and citations
- 14-day packet appendix includes below-threshold days when needed
How it works
- RestShade monitors sites continuously Forecasts, temperature, heat index, and air quality feed the daily file in the background.
- Action days generate logs automatically When thresholds cross, the site is flagged and the duty list waits for sign-off.
- Packets assemble from collected data Inspector-ready downloads build from logs RestShade already wrote.
Frequently asked questions
- Do we still get a record on mild days? Action-day mode marks mild days all clear. Enable daily logging in Settings if your shop wants every workday signed.
- What triggers an action-day log? Shade, high heat, smoke tiers, or NEP duties when thresholds cross for that site state and kind.
- Can we show below-threshold days to an inspector? Yes. The packet appendix can include below-threshold days so the file shows monitoring happened even when no duties applied.
