Wildfire Smoke Safety Awareness Training

With wildfire smoke events increasing in frequency and intensity, studies show that fine particulate matter (PM2.5) from wildfires can cause respiratory problems and cardiovascular issues and reduce overall worker productivity.

In fact, during recent wildfire seasons, air quality in affected regions reached levels considered hazardous for outdoor work for multiple consecutive days, indicating the importance of awareness and preparedness. This course equips participants with the knowledge to monitor air quality, implement protective measures, and ensure workforce safety during wildfire smoke incidents. This training is guided by OSHA’s General Duty Clause (Section 5(a)(1)) and 29 CFR 1910.134 – Respiratory Protection, offering practical strategies for protecting workers from harmful airborne particulates.
