HeatLog checks the weather at each California job site every morning and automatically builds inspection-ready compliance records. When a threshold is crossed, your team confirms the protocols in seconds — the timestamped record is saved and ready to hand an inspector on the spot.
Cal/OSHA issued $276,425 in penalties to a California landscaping company in 2024 for heat violations. The #1 thing inspectors ask for: your daily heat compliance log.

Get started →HeatLog does the monitoring. Your team does one tap. You have documentation that stands up to an inspection.
Every morning at 6am, HeatLog checks the NOAA National Weather Service API at each of your California job site addresses — the same government source inspectors can independently verify. Outdoor: 80°F action, 95°F high heat. Indoor: 82°F action, 87°F high heat (§3396).
If a threshold is crossed, your site supervisor gets an email alert. One click opens the in-app compliance checklist — shade, water, cool-down breaks, buddy system. The supervisor confirms in seconds.
Confirming the checklist saves a server-timestamped compliance entry that cannot be backdated. Download your full monthly audit report anytime — ready to hand to a Cal/OSHA inspector on the spot.
California has two enforceable heat laws right now: Title 8 §3395 (outdoor workers, since 2005) and Title 8 §3396 (indoor workers, effective July 2024). Both require documented evidence — not just verbal assurance.
Most small employers have the intent but not the paperwork. HeatLog creates the paperwork automatically, every day heat thresholds are exceeded.
In effect since 2005. Applies to construction, landscaping, agriculture, roofing, and any outdoor work.
Effective July 23, 2024. Applies to warehouses, kitchens, food processing, manufacturing, car washes, and most indoor workplaces.
Federal heat rule: still a proposed rule (NPRM 2024), not yet finalized. These California laws are independently enforced regardless of federal status.
