# RestShade

> Heat and wildfire-smoke recordkeeping for outdoor and hot-indoor crews. Supervisors log conditions by job site; RestShade shows which state rules just triggered and stores the written plans, training acknowledgments, and inspector packet.

RestShade is operational recordkeeping software. It is not legal advice and does not make an employer compliant by itself.

Confirm requirements with counsel or a state OSHA consultation program.

RestShade is for owner-operators and safety leads at roofing, landscaping, construction, agriculture, warehouse, and commercial kitchen shops. Jurisdiction packs cover California, Oregon, Washington, Maryland, Nevada, Minnesota, Colorado agriculture, and the OSHA Heat National Emphasis Program everywhere else.

- Written plans cover outdoor heat (HIIP), indoor heat, wildfire smoke, and respirators, in English and Spanish.
- Daily site logs store the reading, triggered duties with citations, checklist, and supervisor sign-off.
- Training modules ship in English and Spanish with typed acknowledgments and an annual due date.
- The inspector packet is a PDF, Word, or Excel download: current plans, last 14 days of logs, the training roster, and acclimatization names.
- Trial is 14 days (2 sites, 10 crew). Crew is $79 per month (8 sites, 60 crew). Outfit is $149 per month (25 sites, 250 crew).
