Governing formula

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

Control measures

Governing metric: WBGT action level / occupational exposure limit

Programmable logic: Control overlay that classifies a 1-hour time-weighted WBGT below action level, at or above the 27°C action level, or at or above the 30°C OEL. It surfaces required risk assessment, monitoring, control hierarchy, medical surveillance, training, and heat-health controls without inventing a numeric work/rest schedule.

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, wbgtC, outdoor
