California – Pay Attention (Part 2)

If you are in California, you know that with wildfires, you have to offer your employees masks if the air particulate levels get above 150. And not just any mask, and N-95.

It looks like CalOSHA has bent on that a bit. So here are two guides. 1) who has N-95 masks (although I have found this to be sketchy), plus FINALLY 2) how to get other masks that still ‘count.’ This is a recent change – 9/28/2020.

Also – you can monitor air quality through many different websites, but I find Air Visual works well in looking at large areas on a map, or zooming in.

COVID-19 – OSHA Reporting

Do you have to report COVID-19 hospitalization to OSHA?

Short answer – yes, you have to report in-patient hospitalizations to OSHA for COVID-19.  Long answer – well, here it is from OSHA:

good bad ugly 2Recording workplace exposures to COVID-19

OSHA recordkeeping requirements at 29 CFR Part 1904 mandate covered employers record certain work-related injuries and illnesses on their OSHA 300 log.

COVID-19 can be a recordable illness if a worker is infected as a result of performing their work-related duties. However, employers are only responsible for recording cases of COVID-19 if all of the following are met:

  1. The case is a confirmed case of COVID-19 (see CDC information on persons under investigation and presumptive positive and laboratory-confirmed cases of COVID-19);
  2. The case is work-related, as defined by 29 CFR 1904.5; and
  3. The case involves one or more of the general recording criteria set forth in 29 CFR 1904.7 (e.g. medical treatment beyond first-aid, days away from work).

Visit OSHA’s Injury and Illness Recordkeeping and Reporting Requirements page for more information.
