Physiological Heat Exposure Limit, or PHEL, is the U.S. Navy’s method for managing occupational heat stress using work-rate based heat exposure curves. These curves are built around WBGT, which means accurate environmental heat measurement is the foundation of PHEL-based heat safety decisions. For teams operating in hot environments, WBGT monitoring helps translate heat conditions [...]
EPRI’s heat stress research emphasizes the importance of using practical monitoring tools to better protect workers in the electric power industry. As heat events become more frequent and intense, utility crews need reliable ways to measure environmental conditions and reduce the risk of heat-related illness. EnviroLive's WBGT Heat Stress Monitoring series helps [...]
The Health Impact Investment Platform (HIIP) prioritizes investments that produce measurable positive health outcomes for workers and communities. Accurate environmental monitoring, especially WBGT-based heat stress monitoring, helps investors and employers quantify and reduce heat-related health risks in real-world operations. EnviroLive’s Cloud-Ready Heat Stress monitoring and alarm system helps employers identify hazardous conditions early [...]
ACGIH TLV heat stress guidelines are widely used to help employers manage worker exposure to hot conditions. The goal is to keep heat stress at levels that healthy, acclimatized workers can sustain for hours without becoming overexposed. A WBGT monitor is one of the best tools for this because it measures the workplace conditions [...]
ASHORE flag conditions are used to communicate outdoor heat risk and help for better safety decisions during hot weather. When the flag level rises, it signals increasing danger from heat stress, which makes temperature and environmental monitoring more important. A heat stress device that measures WBGT, heat index, and ambient temperature can help [...]
Heat stress is a serious safety issue in industrial environments, especially where workers are exposed to high temperatures, heavy workloads, or PPE that traps heat. OSHA requires employers to protect workers from recognized heat hazards under the General Duty Clause, Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act. EnviroLive's WBGT-1000 Series assists [...]
Ovens, welding stations, paint lines, presses, and other equipment that generate radiant heat all have the potential to pose significant risks in automotive manufacturing plants. Measuring heat stress is an important way to keep employees safe. WBGT (Wet Bulb Globe Temperature) monitoring helps measure heat stress more accurately than temperature alone because it accounts [...]
Title 8 CCR 3396 Indoor heat is a serious workplace safety issue, especially in facilities where temperatures rise quickly due to equipment, poor ventilation, or seasonal weather. Under Cal/OSHA’s Heat Illness Prevention in Indoor Places of Employment standard, employers must take steps to protect workers from heat-related illness, including monitoring conditions and implementing [...]
2025-2026 Recommended Heat Protocols and Procedures for Outdoor UIL Athletic and Marching Band Activities For the 2025–2026 school year, UIL has doubled down on Wet Bulb Globe Temperature (WBGT) as the primary way to monitor environmental conditions during outdoor sports and marching band. WBGT combines temperature, humidity, wind, and solar [...]
