Stop sharing one clipboard across three job sites.

Washington expects a year-round written program plus paid cool-down rest once temperatures hit the action level. RestShade watches Washington sites, applies WAC 296-62-095, and keeps a log per site. Most days you do nothing. When the action level hits, it flags the site and pings the right people.

The problem

A single clipboard for three job sites loses the day an inspector asks for last Tuesday. Washington also has a trigger most shops miss entirely.

How RestShade helps

RestShade keeps the Outdoor Heat Exposure Safety Program current and applies the right action level per crew, including the 52 F trigger for nonbreathable clothing.

What you walk away with

A written program that exists before the first hot week, not after
The correct action level for what your crew is wearing
Paid cool-down rest recorded at 90 F and 100 F with observation noted

What RestShade handles

52 F action level for nonbreathable or vapor-barrier clothing
80 F action level for other clothing, with water and shade duties
90 F: 10 minutes paid cool-down every two hours plus observation
100 F: 15 minutes paid cool-down every hour

How it works

RestShade tracks clothing and temperature Nonbreathable gear moves the action level to 52 F before supervisors have to remember it.
WAC 296-62-095 duties appear at the tier Water, shade, and paid cool-down rest show with citations when thresholds cross.
Each site signs its own log Three jobs mean three records, not one shared clipboard.

Frequently asked questions

Why does 52 F trigger anything? Because vapor-barrier and nonbreathable clothing does not let the body shed heat. Washington sets a much lower action level for crews in that gear, and it catches roofing and abatement work on mild days.
Is the cool-down rest paid? Yes, Washington calls for mandatory paid cool-down rest at the high-heat action levels. Record it on the log like any other duty.
Does Washington have an indoor heat rule? The outdoor rule is what WAC 296-62-095 covers. For indoor sites RestShade applies the federal Heat NEP as recommended practice.
