For Teams: Heat Safety Solutions
The Heat Safety Crisis Costs More Than You Think
OSHA reports over 3,500 recordable heat injuries annually in the U.S., but that captures only the most severe cases. The actual number—including unreported heat exhaustion, reduced productivity, and near-misses—is estimated at 10-20× higher.
Every Heat Incident Triggers a Cost Cascade
Industries with outdoor work, heavy physical labor, or high-temperature environments face compounding risk. Increasingly common summer heat waves, climate change, and aging workforce demographics are making the problem worse, not better.
Why Existing Heat Safety Protocols Fail
Most organizations rely on a combination of these approaches - none of which prevent heat stress before it becomes a problem:
Doesn't account for individual workload, metabolic rate, or personal heat tolerance. Two workers in identical conditions can have vastly different thermal stress levels.
Depend on self-reporting from workers who may not recognize symptoms, fear appearing weak, or face production pressure.
Measure peripheral circulation and skin temperature - not core thermal load. By the time your wrist is hot, your body has already been managing heat stress for minutes or hours. These devices also violate standard industrial safety protocols that prohibit wrist-worn items due to entanglement and catch-point hazards.
Based on time or temperature thresholds treat all workers identically, missing high-risk individuals while over-protecting others.
The gap? Real-time visibility into who is accumulating heat stress, how quickly, and when intervention is needed.
Mij Monitors Core Thermal Load in Real Time
Mij measures thermal stress where it originates: at the core, through fabric-embedded sensors that capture the microclimate between skin and clothing.
This isn't about counting steps or estimating exertion. It's direct measurement of heat accumulation before your body's compensatory systems are overwhelmed. Safety managers and operations leads get live data on crew thermal status - not guesses based on ambient temperature or time on task.
No wrist devices that interfere with gloved hands or tool operation
No chest straps that fail when workers sweat through shifts
Just a performance base layer with biometric monitoring built in
