HR Update

Campus and Building Closing Policy Amended

Supervisors across the system will receive an email today from AVP Katharine Bonneson regarding an update to the Weather Thresholds Appendix of the University’s Campus and Building Closing Policy. The change addresses protective measures supervisors of outdoor employees can take to support them when the air quality index (AQI) is predicted to be Very Unhealthy (201-300) or Hazardous (301-500). Suggestions include reducing or rescheduling outdoor operations, encouraging more breaks if outdoor activity cannot be avoided, and allowing the use of N95 respirators.

For more information and resources can be found on the Health, Safety, and Risk Management (HSRM) website.
