ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY WATCHDOGS

Smoke and Air Quality Advisory for Workers

Health and Safety Resource Library

June 15, 2023 Workshop

Wildfire smoke creates health hazards, especially for vulnerable groups. In this video, Marina Jabsky, an industrial hygienist at NYCOSH, explains the EPA’s Air Quality Index, and makes recommendations for each level of the Index. She also describes what workers can do to protect themselves (including the use of respirators), and what employers can do to provide a safe and healthy work environment.

CUNY's Microsoft email has a security block for mass mailings that has held up some of our emails. A few thousand members have already voted, and we will all have the chance to vote. AAA believes they have a workaround, and they will again send out the message to all eligible members who have not yet voted. The emails will begin to go out in batches tonight, Monday, December 23rd. It may take a while to land in your inbox, (spam, or junk mail.)
