Stop citing the front office when the mezzanine is the problem.
Indoor action levels need a stored reading. RestShade watches warehouse floors, keeps the daily record, and applies indoor heat rules without a sensor install. Most days you do nothing. When WBGT or heat index crosses, it flags the site and pings the right people.
The problem
Dock doors and mezzanines run hotter than the office thermostat, and the office thermostat is the only number anyone can produce.
How RestShade helps
RestShade stores readings per work area with the workload where the state asks for it, and applies the indoor rule for the state the building is in.
What you walk away with
- Readings from the mezzanine and the dock, not the front office
- A written indoor program naming your real controls
- The right indoor thresholds for the state the building is in
What RestShade handles
- California 82 F program and heat index 87 F control measures
- Minnesota WBGT limits by workload at 77, 80, and 86 F
- Maryland indoor coverage from heat index 80 F
- Cold-room minimums tracked where Minnesota applies
How it works
- RestShade defines hot work areas as sites Mezzanine, dock, and pick zones carry the indoor pack for that state.
- Readings are evaluated with workload where required 3396, COMAR, and Minnesota WBGT thresholds apply in the background.
- Managers sign when controls matter Reading, duties, and acknowledgment close the shift record.
Frequently asked questions
- Do we need to install sensors? No. RestShade stores manual readings, which is the required path. If you already have instruments, enter their numbers.
- One building or several sites? Whatever matches how you work. Shops with a hot mezzanine often make it its own site so the readings are honest.
- What about the cold side? Minnesota sets minimum air temperatures for cold workrooms, and RestShade tracks those in the same log.
