Incidents/Safety:--
As promised, this week will kick off the new rules on wildfire smoke procedures and protections for workers.
The most important things to know are:
- Workers need to be aware of and report worsening AQI to management.
- Workers will need to download an app such as AirNow : https://www.airnow.gov/airnow-mobile-app/ or another WAC approved app to monitor AQI at their work place.
- All workers will have particle filtering respirators available for voluntary use.
- If workers feel ill due to the smoke, they are to let management know and contact a health care provider if necessary
- A high AQI can result in serious illness, in which case a worker or crew member should dial 911 and then inform management.
- If the AQI is at 301+ at their worksite, workers need to inform management and management WILL move workers to a different location or cancel work for that day, depending on circumstances.
