Stop manually checking every site against California's heat rule.
Shade at 80 F, high heat at 95 F, and a record someone can actually find. RestShade watches California outdoor sites, applies T8 3395 automatically, and keeps the daily file. Most days you do nothing. When temperature crosses, it flags the site and pings the right people.
The problem
Supervisors remember the rule and forget to write it down. The knowledge lives in one foreman's head, which is exactly where an inspector cannot see it.
How RestShade helps
RestShade maps each reading to the 3395 duties that apply that day, with citations on screen. Supervisors sign when something changes, not when they remember to look up the rule.
What you walk away with
- The 3395 duty list for the exact reading you entered, with citations
- A supervisor signature on every hot day, not a monthly summary
- A written HIIP that stays consistent with what the logs show
What RestShade handles
- Shade duties above 80 F and high-heat procedures at 95 F
- Acclimatization watch for new and returning workers over 14 days
- Emergency response and cool-down steps on the same record as the reading
- Indoor sites route to T8 3396 instead
How it works
- RestShade watches each California outdoor site Forecasts and readings are evaluated against T8 3395 thresholds in the background.
- Duties appear when temperature crosses Shade at 80 F and high-heat procedures at 95 F show with citations before anyone opens a PDF.
- Supervisors act, then sign The foreman completes the checklist and signs. The record is filed before the first rest break.
Frequently asked questions
- Does RestShade interpret 3395 for us? It maps the reading to the duties in the rule and shows the citation so you can read the source.
- What if the temperature never hits 80 F? You still get a filed log showing the reading and that no shade trigger was met. An empty day is a record too.
- How current is the pack? Each pack carries a version date shown on the duty list, so you can see which revision produced the day's duties.
