Humidex Monitoring Solutions 🌡️
Whether your team operates indoors or outdoors, the risk of dangerous heat exposure persists year-round - but now, as we head into warmer seasons, monitoring heat conditions in the workplace becomes especially crucial. Now is the perfect time to take a proactive approach.
Plant managers often face the issue of lacking actual heat condition measurements, leading to uncertainty in decision-making. Improv Engineers offers simple, cost-effective metering solutions to provide actual data and historical records. By addressing this gap in information, you can feel confident that everyone is on the same page and able to make informed decisions concerning worker safety.
For Canadian clients, one key indicator is Humidex (like heat index in the US but considering temperature + dew point, rather than relative humidity). Humidex monitoring is a great solution for accurate insight into indoor workplaces like offices, where workload, radiant heat, and wind speed do not contribute to the heat burden (ccohs.ca).
Our clients have successfully deployed READers (our portable IoT data loggers) to monitor Humidex levels, receiving alerts if thresholds are exceeded. These real-time insights allow clients to proactively safeguard worker safety, which may include implementation of plans such as the Humidex-Based Heat Response Plan from Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW).
OHS legislation and regulations vary slightly depending on your jurisdiction and industry, but all share the common goal of mitigating heat stress risks. Humidex monitoring provides the insight you need to not only protect worker safety but also ensure compliance with legal requirements, reducing risk of liabilities for employers.
