BUAK temperature query for the allocation of bad weather support

The construction workers' holiday and severance pay fund (BUAK) receives weather-specific data for every postal code in Austria from Geosphere Austria.

A debate as to whether the 32.5 degrees Celsius on the construction site was actually reached according to the BSchEG in order to stop work if necessary with bad weather support is now a thing of the past! Install this app and be informed about the current temperature, no matter where you are! You will also find important information in the app about what you need to take into account when working in high heat so as not to endanger your health!
