Heat, smoke & weather

Heat exposure, air quality and weather contingencies.

Ask what happens if heat, smoke or a storm changes the conditions during your call. The plan should identify shelter, drinking water and the person who can change or stop the work.

Check the current environmental guidance in these resources and follow advice from the relevant weather and health authorities. Exposure limits need a task-specific assessment.

Questions before work starts

  • Who is checking the weather and air quality throughout the day?
  • Where can you get water, shade or indoor shelter?
  • Who will tell the crew when work is moving, pausing or stopping?

Your supervisor or qualified specialist still needs to assess the task and explain the procedure.
