Rising Working Temperatures Prompt New Heat Regulations

Several states have implemented regulations to prevent heat illness in the workplace, and they want employers to create written prevention plans. Specifically, California, Colorado, Maryland, Minnesota, Oregon, and Washington have established standards for indoor and outdoor workplaces to protect workers from heat exposure.

These regulations often require employers to provide shade, water, rest breaks, and training. Take, for example, regulations in two states—California and Maryland.

• California—As of last summer, the state has new indoor heat protections for employers to complement their outdoor heat illness prevention standards. The indoor standard applies when temperatures reach 82°F or higher and requires similar measures, such as providing adequate cooling and rest breaks.
• Maryland—When the heat index reaches 80°F or higher, Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH) requires organizations to adhere to heat stress standards.

While these states and many others have their standards, individual organizations and the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) also play significant roles.

• OSHA's General Duty Clause requires employers to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious physical harm, including heat hazards.
• Additionally, OSHA has a Heat Illness Prevention Campaign that offers information and guidance to employers and workers.

You can find more details about maintaining compliance with new indoor heat prevention rules in "Let Monnit Help You Stay Compliant and Keep Cool."

Our blog post recommends using Monnit Temperature and Humidity Sensors to monitor the heat index indoors or outdoors. By keeping sensor data logs and receiving alerts, you can ensure compliance and help protect employees as temperatures rise this summer.

This is one of the messages we share this week in booth 2525 at Realcomm and IBcon 2025, the leading real estate conference and exposition in Savannah, GA.

Sensor Enhancements Survey

Take Our Quick Sensor Survey

When using the ALTA Differential Air Pressure or Air Velocity Sensors, do you need:

• To monitor a higher-pressure range?
• Real-time reporting about critical conditions like surges?
• Specific accuracy settings for your unique use case?

We want to understand your needs through this brief survey as we are considering enhancing the capabilities of these two sensors. For example, we could expand the current pressure measurement range in Pascal (Pa) from -500 Pa to 500 Pa, increasing it to -5800 Pa to 5800 Pa.

We can do this while maintaining the sensors’ current accuracy settings or offer other options depending on your use case. There are other features we want to consider, and we appreciate your answers to this short survey.

Tech Tip

Make Every Heartbeat Count—What They Do

To know how Monnit Sensors and Gateways work, alert, and report in iMonnit is to understand Heartbeats. They’re timed intervals you can set for how often sensors and gateways transmit data.

By default, our sensors check in every 120 minutes, but you can fine-tune a Heartbeat to 10 minutes with iMonnit Premiere or even more frequently with other Monnit Software. In this Monnit Knowledgebase video and article, “iMonnit Heartbeats Explained,” we share what you need to know about Heartbeats.

For example, did you know that sensors take sample assessments to monitor thresholds between Heartbeats? Then, if a threshold is breached, the sensor enters the Aware State and checks in on the set Heartbeat frequency. Gateways also have Heartbeats and can push urgent data immediately if a sensor detects an exception.

In the video or article, you will see:

• How to edit sensor Heartbeats and Assessments Per Heartbeat settings.
• Why do gateways have a Force Transmit on Aware setting, and how does it work?
• A detailed example of the timing and procedures of how a sensor Heartbeat works.
• How Heartbeats optimize battery life to balance performance and power usage.

Pro Tip: Configure sensor and gateway Heartbeats to match your monitoring needs and response times.
