Stop checking AQI all day.

T8 5141.1 asks for a written plan, two-way communication, and respirator steps as AQI climbs. RestShade watches smoke at California sites, keeps the daily record, and applies tiers automatically. Most days you do nothing. When AQI crosses, it flags the site and pings the right people.

The problem

Smoke arrives faster than anyone can find the plan. The crew gets a text with a screenshot of an air quality app, and that is the entire record of a week that hit AQI 200.

How RestShade helps

RestShade versions the smoke plan and turns the AQI into the duties 5141.1 owes at that tier, including what you told the crew and whether N95s went out.

What you walk away with

A written smoke plan with a version number, not a file called smoke_final_v3
A dated AQI log with the communication note an inspector actually asks for
Proof that N95s were offered at AQI 151 and required at AQI 500

What RestShade handles

Duties at AQI 151 for communication, controls, voluntary N95s, and current training
Mandatory respirator step flagged at AQI 500, cited to T8 5141.1
Two-way communication note stored on the same record as the reading
Smoke training in English and Spanish with typed acknowledgments

How it works

RestShade watches smoke at every California site AQI is tracked in the background so tier crossings do not wait on someone checking an app.
5141.1 duties appear at the recorded tier Communication, controls, voluntary N95s, and respirator steps show with citations.
Supervisors document what the crew was told The communication note and sign-off live on the same record as the AQI.

Frequently asked questions

Is an air quality app screenshot a record? Not really. The rule expects communication and protective measures you can show. RestShade stores the reading, the source, and the note describing what the crew was told.
What changes at AQI 500? Respirator use becomes mandatory, which means a full respiratory protection program with medical evaluation and fit testing. RestShade flags the tier and keeps the written respirator plan with it.
Do you fetch AQI automatically? There is an optional weather and air quality fetch, but a supervisor can always enter the reading by hand. The record is what matters.
