NIOSH Sound Level Meter App

Don’t carry heavy OSHA reference books to the jobsite or to the plant on an inspection tour — carry OSHA right in your hand!
Heat Safety Tool
When you’re working in the heat, safety comes first. With the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Heat Safety Tool, you have vital safety information available whenever and wherever you need it — right on your mobile phone.
The app allows workers and supervisors to calculate the heat index for their worksites, and based on the heat index, displays a risk level to outdoor workers. Then, with a click or tap, you can get reminders about the protective measures that should be taken at that risk level to protect workers from heat-related illnesses, including reminders about drinking enough fluids, scheduling rest breaks, planning for and knowing what to do in an emergency, adjusting work operations, gradually building up the workload for new workers, training on heat illness signs and symptoms, and monitoring each other for signs and symptoms of heat-related illness.
Centers For Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
The CDC’s official app helps you explore a variety of health information topics, including health articles, popular journals, timely updates, and access to social media. This application is a companion to the CDC’s trusted website (www.cdc.gov).
