From the Ground Up

Safety Beyond the Standard: Rethinking Weather Risk


Listen Later

In this From the Ground Up™ episode, host Karol Weyman sits down with Jameson Allen of Flash Weather AI to discuss weather-related risks on the jobsite. The conversation unpacks the biggest threats outdoor laborers face and how those risks are currently defined. They examine OSHA's standards for weather-related safety, questioning whether they fully reflect real-world conditions. Jameson explains the critical difference between air temperature and wet bulb globe temperature (WBGT), and why WBGT is a much better metric than heat index. If you work around weather, or make decisions for people who do, this episode invites you to rethink the standard rules, ask better questions, and start using smarter data to keep crews safer in the real world.
