An Arizona heat illness prevention plan, written for your crew, in English and Spanish.
Arizona’s Industrial Commission approved new employer heat guidance on April 9, 2026, and ADOSH’s heat inspection program looks at whether you have a written plan, and the records behind it. Heatplan AZ is a planned plan builder for outdoor employers: landscaping, roofing, construction, agriculture and more.

What changed in 2026
Arizona still has no enforceable, heat-specific workplace standard. But the rules of the road have shifted.
New employer guidance approved
The Industrial Commission of Arizona voted unanimously to approve the Workplace Heat Safety Task Force’s recommendations: written plan, water, shade, rest, acclimatization, training. What it says
Guidance, not a standard
It’s non-enforceable. Heat citations still run through the general duty clause, and ADOSH’s heat emphasis program tells inspectors what to look at. Required vs. recommended
Inspections follow the weather
ADOSH’s updated emphasis program directs programmed inspections on days the National Weather Service announces a heat warning or advisory. What inspectors review
What the plan builder is planned to include
Everything below is planned, not shipped. The waitlist tells us whether it’s worth finishing, and who to tell first.
Questions in, written plan out
Answer questions about your trade, crew size, worksites, water and shade setup, and heat monitoring, and get a written plan that reflects your answers, built around the elements in Arizona’s 2026 guidance.
The records inspectors ask about
Training roster, acclimatization log and a daily water/shade check sheet, so the paper trail exists before anyone asks for it.
Training outline for supervisors
A tailgate-talk outline covering the minimum topics in the recommendations: rights, procedures, risk factors, signs and first aid, acclimatization, reporting.
Spanish version
The plan, roster and training outline in Spanish, for crews that work in Spanish. Reviewed by a fluent speaker before release.
Planned pricing
Our current plan, not an offer. It may change, and we’ll tell you the final price before you decide.
Written Arizona heat illness prevention plan in English, plus roster, acclimatization log and water/shade check sheet.
Spanish version of the plan, roster and training outline.
Worth knowing: ADOSH publishes a free, customizable example Heat Illness Prevention Plan and offers free, non-enforcement consultations (the Arizona Farm Bureau lists the consultation line as (602) 542-1769; confirm on the ADOSH heat page). If you’re comfortable editing a generic template, start there. A paid builder only makes sense if you’d rather answer a short set of questions and get a plan, training sign-in sheet and logs tailored to your trade and crew, in English and Spanish.
What Heatplan AZ is not
- Not a government site. Not affiliated with or endorsed by the Industrial Commission of Arizona, ADOSH, OSHA or any agency.
- Not legal advice, and not a safety professional’s review of your worksite. A plan on paper doesn’t protect anyone unless it’s followed.
- Not a guarantee. No document can promise a clean inspection or prevent a citation.
- Not a replacement for ADOSH’s free help. ADOSH offers an example plan and free, non-enforcement consultations.

Questions
Is the plan builder available now?
No. It’s in development. The checker and guides are free and live; the builder launches to the waitlist first, if there’s enough interest.
Does Arizona require a written heat plan?
There’s no heat-specific enforceable standard. The April 2026 guidance asks for a written plan and ADOSH’s emphasis program expects one; heat hazards can be cited under the general duty clause. Details.
Why pay when ADOSH has a free template?
You might not need to. The builder is for employers who’d rather answer a short set of questions than edit a generic template, and who want the training roster, logs and Spanish version in one place.
