Set up the after-mass shade and water station at the Mecca parish (2026-07-18)

Hundreds of parishioners spill out of Sunday mass into 110°F; the parish courtyard has no standing shade or water service. A recurring canopy-and-ice-water station after every summer service is the congregation-scale version of heat safety. Standard: Cal/OSHA T8 §3395 heat-illness framework adapted to gatherings; CDC extreme heat. SDG 3. Proof: running-station photo + log + host note Method (Cal/OSHA T8 §3395 heat-illness framework adapted to gatherings; CDC extreme heat. SDG 3.): 1. Set the canopy and water table at the courtyard spot agreed with the parish before the service ends. 2. Stock ice water and cups; post the heat-illness signs card in Spanish and English. 3. Staff through the dispersal window; log refills. 4. Photograph the running station; break down and pack out. Done when: running-station photo + log + host note

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 45–90 minutes. Method of record: OSHA Heat-Related Hazards NEP (2022) + NIOSH Criteria heat-illness-prevention program audit (water/rest/shade, acclimatization, heat-index triggers)

Bring

• site PPE + sun protection + water
• tablet/clipboard with the OSHA Heat NEP checklist
• camera
• thermometer / heat-index reference (or weather-service heat index)
• note on the written heat-illness prevention plan

Steps

1. 1. Check in with the competent person; confirm a written heat-illness prevention plan exists and identify who is new or returning (acclimatization risk). Observe-and-document only.
2. 2. Record the day's heat index (temperature + humidity) and note which OSHA trigger tier applies (caution ~80°F / high ~91°F / extreme).
3. 3. Check water: cool, potable, accessible, and enough for ~1 quart per worker per hour; photograph the stations and note their distance from the work.
4. 4. Check shade + rest: a shaded rest area is available and the rest schedule scales with the heat-index tier (more/longer breaks as it climbs).
5. 5. Check acclimatization: is there a graded schedule for new workers (first week) and returning workers (after a week or more away) — the highest-risk group?
6. 6. Check recognition + emergency: are supervisors/workers trained to spot heat illness, is there a buddy/monitoring system, and a written emergency response (call 911, cool, don't leave alone)?
7. 7. Tier each finding against the heat-index tier (stop-work / correct-before-proceed / monitor); enter photos, GPS, heat index, checklist, plan status, and findings; sign. Route stop-work items to the competent person.

If it does not match the plan

• At a high/extreme heat-index tier with no cool water OR no shaded rest available -> STOP-WORK: document, route to the competent person to establish water/shade/rest before work continues; do not proceed past the exposure.
• New or returning worker with no acclimatization schedule during a heat alert -> flag as the highest-risk gap; route to the competent person.
• Any worker showing heat-illness signs (confusion, fainting, hot/dry or profusely sweating skin, cramps) -> MEDICAL EMERGENCY: stop work, cool the worker, call 911. The agent documents and escalates, never diagnoses or treats.
• No written heat-illness prevention plan -> flag as a program gap; route to the competent person / employer. Approval and correction stay human.

What counts as done

• Day's heat index recorded with the applicable OSHA trigger tier
• Water, shade + rest-schedule, and acclimatization-plan status each documented (photos where visible)
• Heat-illness recognition and written emergency-response status recorded
• Every finding tiered with the responsible competent person named

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
