We’ve put together a set of materials you can use directly with your team — whether you’re running a toolbox talk, leading a training session, or working through improving your weather safety plan. Download, print, or share whatever is useful.
With OSHA’s 2026 Heat National Emphasis Program in effect, inspectors can show up unannounced and cite companies on the spot.
This toolbox talk covers what your crew needs to know: water, rest, and shade rights; how to spot heat exhaustion and heat stroke; acclimatization for new and returning workers; and what to do in an emergency.
Download the slides and walk your team through it.
In this recorded session, Dr. David Martin and Christy walk through the real hazards of heat stress on the jobsite and what crews and supervisors can do about them:
How heat stress affects the body and why construction workers are especially at risk
What OSHA expects employers to have in place and how to stay ahead of an inspection
Practical steps supervisors can take before, during, and after a high-heat day
How to use weather data and monitoring tools to protect your crew in real time
Heat isn’t just a safety issue it’s a business one. Perry Weather surveyed 250 construction leaders across the U.S. to find out what extreme heat is really costing the industry in incidents, delays, and dollars. Read the free report to understand the full scope of the problem and what it takes to get ahead of it before summer arrives.
This guide breaks down the signs supervisors and crew members need to know before the temperature climbs — from early warning symptoms like cramps and exhaustion to the life-threatening signs of heat stroke. More importantly, it walks through exactly how to respond, step by step, so your team isn’t making decisions under pressure for the first time in a crisis.
OSHA has revised and renewed its National Emphasis Program for heat-related hazards. Here’s what changed, which industries are now targeted, and how your team can stay compliant ahead of an OSHA visit.
By leveraging Perry Weather, Holder Construction has improved safety and efficiency at Project Red with real-time alerts for lightning, heat, wind, and rain—reducing risk and allowing safety leaders to focus on other priorities.
The Harvard Heat Safety Study found a clear, non-linear increase in workplace injuries as temperatures rise, linking OSHA injury data with high-resolution heat-index data.

“Having a Perry Weather on a project of this size, 161 acres plus or minus, it’s taking the workload off me and helping keep everyone safe on the site here at Project Red. People can hear the message or the siren and do what they need to do to stay safe.”
“Perry Weather wins hands down over the competition. It has alerted us to every dangerous situation.”
“The weather could roll up on us really quick, and it’s really important that we have a system like Perry Weather so we can protect ourselves from the weather that’s incoming.”
“We use Perry Weather to monitor for various weather conditions including lightning, wind, rain, sleet and snow, and it’s very helpful so that we can anticipate working conditions for the day”
“Perry Weather is a big helping hand with me because I don’t have to worry about the weather. Perry Weather watches it for me, and alerts me on the heat, wind, lightning and storms coming in.”
Say goodbye to weather uncertainty 👋
