Three steps. Ten seconds a day.

HeatLog monitors the weather at each Inland Empire job site, triggers the checklist when thresholds are crossed, and saves a timestamped record that stands up to a Cal/OSHA inspection.

1

Morning weather check at your IE site

Every morning at 6am, HeatLog checks the NOAA National Weather Service for each of your Inland Empire addresses — Ontario, Riverside, San Bernardino, Fontana, or wherever your sites are located.

2

Alert when 80°F, 95°F, 82°F, or 87°F is crossed

Your supervisor gets an email alert with a one-click compliance checklist: shade, water, cool-down breaks, buddy system. Takes under 60 seconds to confirm.

3

Server-timestamped record — ready for inspection

The confirmed record is saved with a server timestamp that cannot be backdated. Download your full monthly audit log as a PDF and hand it to an inspector on the spot.

Which Inland Empire industries need heat compliance records?

San Bernardino and Riverside counties host the densest concentration of logistics warehouses in the western US, plus a construction boom and significant manufacturing. Most IE employers are covered by at least one of California's two heat regulations.

Indoor — §3396

Warehousing & logistics

The IE's massive fulfillment centers, cross-dock facilities, and distribution warehouses are exactly what §3396 was written for. Action level: 82°F — easily reached in uncooled buildings during summer.

Indoor — §3396

Manufacturing & light industrial

Metal fabrication, plastics, electronics assembly, and other manufacturing operations in the IE's industrial corridors. Heat-generating equipment raises indoor temps well above ambient.

Outdoor — §3395

Construction

The Inland Empire is one of California's fastest-growing construction markets. Framing, roofing, grading, and infrastructure crews all fall under §3395. High-heat threshold: 95°F.

Outdoor — §3395

Landscaping & grounds maintenance

Landscape maintenance crews servicing the IE's residential and commercial developments. One of the industries with the highest Cal/OSHA citation rates for heat illness violations statewide.

Outdoor — §3395

Utilities & infrastructure

Electrical, water, and telecommunications crews working outdoors in the IE's expanding utility corridors. If your crews work outside in summer, §3395 applies.

Indoor — §3396

Food distribution & cold chain

Loading dock areas and staging zones in food distribution centers may not share the same climate control as refrigerated storage — those areas are covered by §3396 when temps hit 82°F.

Inland Empire employer questions

Are Inland Empire warehouses subject to the new indoor heat rule?

Yes. Title 8 §3396 (effective July 23, 2024) covers any indoor workplace where workers are exposed to heat illness risk — and large distribution warehouses are a primary target of enforcement. The action level is 82°F, which uncooled or partially cooled warehouses in Ontario, Fontana, and Riverside routinely reach on summer days above 95°F outside. Once 82°F is hit, documentation of water access, rest opportunities, and worker monitoring is required. At 87°F, mandatory cool-down periods apply. HeatLog triggers automatically and captures everything in one place.

My construction company has sites across San Bernardino and Riverside counties. Can I manage all of them in one place?

Yes. HeatLog supports unlimited job sites under one subscription. Each site gets its own weather monitoring using its specific address — so a framing crew in Redlands and a roofing crew in Temecula each get the correct local temperature check. Add a site, enter the address, set the contact email, and HeatLog handles the rest. When an inspector shows up at any site, you pull up that site's PDF log and hand it over.

What records does Cal/OSHA actually want to see?

Inspectors want to see: daily temperature at each work location, documentation that water (1 qt/hr per worker) was available, confirmation that shade was accessible within 2 minutes of request, logged cool-down rest periods on high-heat days (95°F outdoor / 87°F indoor), and evidence the buddy system and emergency response plan were followed. HeatLog captures all of this in a single timestamped PDF you can hand over on the spot — with server-recorded timestamps that cannot be backdated.
