Any employee who works outdoors or in non-filtered buildings and/or vehicles for more than one hour per shift must be trained in wildfire smoke protection. 

This online training includes:

• Health Effects of airborne particulates associated with wildfire smoke
• Options for medical treatment for employees wo become ill or injured due to wildfire smoke without fear of reprisal
• What the Air Quality Index (AQI) is, how AQI information is obtained, and how it is used to determine wildfire smoke protection decisions
• The requirements of Title 8, section 5141.1
• Communication Requirements

• Respiratory Protection, including how to properly wear N-95 respirators.  Note that employees are given respirators to wear voluntarily must fill out the Voluntary Use of N-95s form and receive N-95 training (the N-95 training is also included in the wildfire smoke protection training mentioned above.)

Departments are responsible for supplementing this training with situation specific information like the specific means of two-way communication with employees and the specific controls that will be implemented (working indoors for the day, changing procedures, respiratory protection, changing work locations, etc.)
