Control measures

Governing metric: Météo-France canicule vigilance-level adaptation duties

Programmable logic: Uses the decree as a graduated control overlay keyed to the Météo-France canicule vigilance level (Art. R.4463-1). The work-organization adaptation duty (shifted hours, suspending strenuous tasks, extended rest) engages at vigilance jaune; orange and rouge add a mandatory daily risk reassessment and further adjustment. It surfaces requirements for risk assessment, work reorganization, exposure reduction, extra rest, cool water, reduced solar and indoor heat load, worker information, and suitable equipment. It imposes no unconditional stop-work. The vigilance level is forecaster-judged and zone-specific, so it is accepted as an input (meteoFranceVigilance) rather than derived from temperature; when it is not supplied, the engine surfaces requiresOfficialVigilanceCheck.

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.
