Governing formula

No standalone formula is published for this standard; see programmable logic and parameters below.

Control measures

Governing metric: Outdoor dry-bulb air temperature (°F)

Programmable logic: Applies to covered outdoor work. Shade must be present when temperature exceeds 80°F; below 80°F shade must be provided on request. High-heat procedures trigger at ≥95°F for agriculture, construction, landscaping, oil/gas extraction, and transportation/delivery. Always require water, cool-down rest, emergency response, training, and a written plan. No fixed work/rest ratio.

This standard does not take WBGT as a required input, and publishes no standalone numeric parameter table here; see the governing metric and programmable logic above, and the primary source below.

Inputs

Required inputs: none

Optional inputs: airTempC, usStateCode, industry, acclimatization, workload
