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 support that effort by providing a more complete picture of heat exposure than temperature alone.
WBGT, or Wet Bulb Globe Temperature, accounts for humidity, radiant heat, air movement, and ambient temperature, making it especially useful for outdoor line work, emergency response, and hot-field operations. That is why EPRI’s work highlights monitoring technologies and management approaches that can be integrated into heat stress programs for utility operations.
The WBGT-1000 series is built for that kind of use, measuring WBGT, heat index, and ambient temperature. With cloud-ready remote monitoring software that automatically logs WBGT, heat index, and ambient temperature readings, you can be alerted of any changes and create time-stamped records that help utility teams review conditions, track trends, and document heat safety actions.
Protect Workers with Real-Time Heat Data
Make it easier to support heat stress planning, worker protection, and reporting.
Consistent
By monitoring the thermal footprint of the production floor and external areas, the device ensures that every shift operates under the best environmental conditions.
Reliable
Captures a full profile of the production environment, ensuring warnings of relative humidity and radiant heat stay within strict parameters.
Accurate
The WBGT-1000 Series provides detailed temperature readings, including humidity and radiant heat from machinery, preventing ambient interference and possible thermal degradation.
Through real-time telemetry, data is streamed directly to the dashboard, allowing for instant oversight of the entire facility from the central office, or any personal device.
The transition to data-driven heat safety marks a shift in how we manage the modern industrial environment. With EnviroLive’s WBGT-1000 Series‘s ability to monitor every zone of your facility from any device, you gain the transparency needed to mitigate risks before they impact your bottom line. Protect your team, preserve your assets, and maintain your competitive edge with a smarter approach to environmental awareness.
