Smoke Ready Week is the perfect time for employers to prepare for wildfire season. Employers should take proactive steps to protect workers by:
- Preparing a written wildfire smoke response plan
- Providing wildfire smoke training to employees
- Knowing where to find current AQI conditions
Remember, when the AQI is above 101, employers must provide respirators to workers for voluntary use. A NIOSH-approved N95 mask is the best way to protect workers.
