Use this field‑ready model and paste it into your job binder:

1) Daily heat briefing (2 minutes).
• Foreman checks the day’s forecast and heat index before the morning stretch.
• Announce the plan: hydration, shade location, and targeted break times (e.g., 15 minutes each hour during peak).
• Identify who is new or returning after time off; those workers get lighter duty for acclimatization.

2) Hydration and shade.
• Water and electrolyte mix are available at marked coolers within a 100‑foot walk of the active work area.
• Shade structure or conditioned space is set and labeled “Cool‑Down Area.”

3) Work/rest cycles and PPE adjustments.
• For heavy work in high heat, shorten continuous exertion and add micro‑breaks in shade.
• Encourage looser‑fit, breathable clothing; avoid dark colors where possible.

4) Training and buddy checks.
• Supervisors and leads can identify early signs (cramps, dizziness, headache, confusion) and know the emergency steps.
• Crews pair up and check each other at the top of each hour in peak heat.

5) Incident response.
• If a worker shows symptoms, move them to shade, start active cooling, call EMS if symptoms escalates, and document the event.

6) Documentation (keep it simple).
• A one‑page daily checklist: forecast/heat index, cool‑down set, water stocked, acclimatization noted, breaks taken, any incidents. Take a photo of the checklist and save it to the job folder.

This framework satisfies what most inspectors now expect to see: a plan, daily execution, training, and records. It also keeps your crew safer and your project on schedule by preventing avoidable heat‑related delays.
