Stop doing heat-index math on a tailgate.

Oregon heat duties run on heat index starting at 80 F, with rest that steps up every five degrees. RestShade watches Oregon sites, applies OAR 437-002-0156, and keeps the daily record. Most days you do nothing. When heat index crosses, it flags the site and pings the right people.

The problem

Crews move between counties and the office copy of the plan stays in last year's folder. Meanwhile the rest schedule changed three times in one afternoon.

How RestShade helps

RestShade reads heat index off the log and shows the rest interval owed at that tier, so supervisors are not doing arithmetic between job sites.

What you walk away with

The exact rest interval owed at 90, 95, 100, or 105 F heat index
A written heat illness prevention plan your crew can reach on a phone
A signed record per site per day, not one clipboard for three jobs

What RestShade handles

Water, shade, and written plan duties from heat index 80 F
Rest table built in: 10 minutes every two hours at 90 F, up to 40 minutes hourly at 105 F
Employer-designed and NIOSH schedule options noted as alternatives
Oregon smoke pack runs from the same account when PM2.5 climbs

How it works

RestShade watches heat index at Oregon sites Temperature and humidity are evaluated against OAR 437-002-0156 in the background.
Rest tiers appear when heat index crosses Water, shade, and rest intervals from 80 F through 105 F show with citations.
Supervisors sign the action-day log The reading, tier, and acknowledgment land on one record per site.

Frequently asked questions

Does Oregon use temperature or heat index? Heat index. That is the single most common mistake, because a 92 F day with humidity can land in a higher rest tier than the thermometer suggests.
We use the NIOSH schedule instead of the table. Does that work? The rule allows employer-designed or NIOSH schedules as alternatives to the simplified table. RestShade shows the table tier and you record the schedule you followed.
Do indoor Oregon sites get anything? Yes. The Oregon pack covers indoor and outdoor sites, with the indoor program tied to the same heat index triggers.
