Weather: wind thresholds and stop-work warnings

Weather shows each site's live conditions, forecast, and heat and cold risk. Wind thresholds turn a reading into a warning: when a site's wind passes the speed you set, the right people are told.

Who can use it

Everyone sees their own site's weather on their personal side. Weather → View reads every site; Weather → Edit sets thresholds. Broadcasting a stop-work is for Admins.

Set it up

  1. Put the site on the map: Locations → the site → Weather → latitude and longitude. A location with none uses the nearest one above it in the tree.
  2. Admin side → Weather → All locations. Press Edit on a row.
  3. Set Stop-work at (50 km/h unless you change it). Add a Caution tier below it if you want an earlier warning. Crane or lift work? + Add crane threshold sets a second, separate level.
  4. Save thresholds.
  5. At the foot of the page, Who gets weather warnings: supervisors of the crew at that location, and every admin, are on by default. Switch either off, and name anyone else who should hear. Save.

What happens

  • FieldTec checks a site's wind whenever its weather is shown in the app. Passing caution or stop-work tells the people under Who gets weather warnings. If that's nobody active, the weather backups set under Notifications → Backups are told.
  • Broadcast stop-work: on the admin Weather card, a site at stop-work offers Broadcast stop-work. Confirm, and the whole crew at that location is alerted directly, not only their supervisors.
  • Wind and the feels-like temperature at a worker's site also drive Today's conditions on their FLHA. See "FLHA: Today's conditions".
