Understand Your Wildfire Risk

The wildfire hazard is defined by fire severity zones – very high, high, and moderate. Click the image below to find your risk level. Even those in lower risk areas should be prepared for the impacts of wildfire smoke on their operations.

Are you and your workers protected from wildfire smoke?

The Western Center for Agricultural Health and Safety at UC Davis Western Center for Agricultural Health and Safety has developed resources including an Employer Checklist, providing action items to assist with meeting the requirements outlined in Cal-OSHA regulation §5141.1 “Protection from Wildfire Smoke” as well as a Training Poster & Accompanying Discussion Guide.
