Stop treating indoor heat like an afterthought.
California indoor heat starts a written program at 82 F and control measures at heat index 87 F. RestShade watches indoor sites, applies T8 3396, and stores the work-area reading. Most days you do nothing. When indoor thresholds cross, it flags the site and pings the right people.
The problem
Indoor heat citations are usually not about the temperature. They are about the fact that nobody wrote the temperature down, so there is no way to show which control measures were owed.
How RestShade helps
RestShade generates the indoor program and applies 3396 to any site marked indoor, so the 82 F and 87 F tiers show on the log instead of living in a forgotten PDF.
What you walk away with
- A written indoor heat program that matches the rooms you actually work in
- A dated reading for every shift that crossed 82 F or a heat index of 87 F
- Control measures recorded next to the number that triggered them
What RestShade handles
- Written program duties at 82 F and control measures at heat index 87 F, cited to T8 3396
- Indoor site flag keeps outdoor shade duties off the log where they do not apply
- Cool-down area and water duties recorded with the supervisor sign-off
- No sensors required. RestShade stores the reading you took.
How it works
- RestShade flags indoor sites Kitchens, warehouses, and plants get the 3396 pack instead of outdoor shade duties.
- Work-area readings are evaluated Program duties at 82 F and control measures at heat index 87 F appear when thresholds cross.
- Supervisors sign when controls apply The reading, duties, and acknowledgment land on one dated record.
Frequently asked questions
- Do we need a WBGT meter or heat sensors? Not for RestShade. Manual readings are the required path under the rule and the ones RestShade stores. If you already own instruments, enter their numbers.
- Which threshold applies to our kitchen? The written program starts at 82 F. Additional control measures come in at a heat index of 87 F. Both show on the log with T8 3396 cited when your reading crosses them.
- Can one account cover indoor and outdoor crews? Yes. Site kind is per site, so a shop with a warehouse and a roofing crew runs 3396 and 3395 side by side.
