Air quality in our area has reached an AQI of 101 (PM2.5: 35.5 μg/m³), which is considered unhealthy for sensitive groups.
To help protect everyone’s health, we encourage employees to stay indoors whenever possible until air quality improves.
If outdoor work is necessary:
- Only employees who have received the required training should perform outdoor work.
- Outdoor time should be limited as much as possible.
- N95 masks are available for voluntary use and should be provided to employees working outside.
Employees with asthma, heart or lung conditions, or other health concerns may be more sensitive to smoke and poor air quality and should take extra precautions.
Thank you for helping keep yourself and your coworkers safe.
