Texas heat is no joke, and neither is keeping your crew safe in it 🌡️.

OSHA’s new National Emphasis Program on Heat Hazards officially went into effect on April 10, 2026, putting a stronger focus on protecting workers from heat‑related illnesses on the jobsite and in indoor work environments.

Around here, we believe staying ahead of heat stress starts with planning before the temperatures start climbing. That means understanding the specific heat risks on your jobsite, making sure crews have water, rest, and shade 💧, and knowing the warning signs before trouble comes knocking.

One helpful resource we share with clients is the OSHA NIOSH Heat Safety Tool app, which helps crews monitor heat index levels right from their phones and provides reminders on protective measures based on current risk levels.

Faith Boren recently held a training meeting demonstrating the Triplett HS10 Indoor/Outdoor Heat Stress WBGT Meter, helping crews better understand how to measure and monitor real heat stress conditions out in the field 🛠️.

Adams Insurance Service also provides training for clients on OSHA’s updated heat emphasis program, including heat hazard awareness, work practices, PPE guidance, and protecting new workers who may not be acclimated to the heat yet.

When the summer sun starts bearing down, it pays to be prepared and keep your crew one step ahead of the heat.

Around here, when it comes to keeping folks safe and operations running smoothly, Faith Boren is someone you want in your corner. 🛡️
