This resolution was amended in 2019 to include select Special Revenue and Other County Fund reserves, and to increase the General Fund Operating Reserve from 12-15% to 15-200/0 of the prior year's expenditures.

With the COVID-19 virus we need to clean public and staff spaces. This can be a daunting task using existing staff or contracted cleaners using chemicals to wipe down common areas. I have witnessed the past"cleaning" process myself and have not been impressed. There is another way that we can disinfect our work areas properly and without chemicals that could possibly cover more area faster and safer. I spoke with North Mason School District Maintenance Manager who said the district was going to UV light disinfecting machines. She e-mailed me a power point presentation about the R-ZERO Arc UV machine from Capital Business Machine (CBM) and a contact person's name. According to the power point the UV light disinfecting Arc machine that can be placed in any room and uses the UV lights to kill all air-borne viruses in the room on all surfaces. Since there are no chemicals, the Arc machine is not harmful to computers, paperwork or any other work surfaces. The Arc can clean 1000 square feet in 7 minutes and a second machine can be use simultaneously to clean larger rooms by increasing the time the UV light is being emitted. The Arc eliminates Human Coronavirus, MRSA, and E.Coli on the surfaces and in the air. I contacted Capital Business Machine (CBM) to set up a demo and discuss the R_ZERO Arc machine. On May 26, 2021, a representative from CBM came to Public Works Building #1 to demonstrate the R-ZERO Arch machine. I invited our Facilities Manager but due to a previous appointment he was not able to attend. They brought one of the R-ZERO Arc machines with them. Briefing Summary 6/1/2021 The R-ZERO Arc machine is made of aircraft aluminum and is very light. The ;� motor is in the bottom of the machine •�`t so it is not top heavy. The wheels are large enough that they go over cracks and electrical cords with ease. Each machine operates with eight UV light tubes. No special electrical needed, runs of 3 pronged wall outlet. The controls are very simple with an on/off switch and a timer with an up/down for minutes of illumination and LED display. The start button has a 30 second timer F which gives the operator time to exit the ero room for the R-ZERO Arc to start its disinfecting. The machine has safety built into its operation. The machine will not start a cycle if there is anyone present and if one of the four long range sensors registers movement in the room, it will automatically stop. If the machine was in the middle of a cycle it will not start up again until the start button is pushed again and the 30 second timer reactivated. The machine generates and emits data to a cloud-based dashboard. You will be able to see details such as usage (where, when and how long) and monitor compliance in real time. These R-ZERO Arc machines are being used in hospitals and schools to clean large room quickly and without chemicals or additional staff. I have attached the R-ZERO Guide to UV-C and Arc booklet which includes "Common Questions Answered"sheet to this briefing paper. BUDGET IMPACT: See the R-ZERO Arc estimate attached for both purchase and lease options. PUBLIC OUTREACH:(Include any legal requirements, direct notice, website, community meetings, etc.) RECOMMENDED OR REQUESTED ACTION: Discussion and possible additional demonstration of the R-ZERO Arc machine to Support Services Director and Facilities Manager.

R-Zero's Guide to UV-C and Arc - 2 6/1/2021 UV-C Meets the Challenge UV-C light is nothing new. In fact, for over a century, it has been proven effective at killing pathogens and has been used for generations in hospitals to reduce the spread of infections. To date, there are no known UV-resistant microorganism s (viruses and bacteria) on the planet. In 1903, Neils Finsen was awarded the Nobel Prize What Exactly Is UV-C Light? for Medicine for his use of UV against lupus vulgaris, UV-C refers to ultraviolet light with wavelengths tuberculosisof the skin.'Since that time,a wealth between 200- 280 nm.It's typ ically thought of as of scientific and medical studies have proven UV-C a component of sunlight with germicidal properties effective for a number of disinfection applications. that consists of short-wave, ultraviolet radiation.

How UV-C Destroys Dangerous Pathogens UV-C light penetrates a microbe's outer membrane Today,UV-C is considered the gold standard of and disrupts the organism's DNA or RNA by creating disinfection. It has been endorsed by the CDC dimers,or molecular bonds, in all the wrong places and FDA as an effective method of destroying live so the organism can no longer reproduce and pathogens and was approved by CDC as an effective spread.To speed that process up,UV-C devices way to disinfect N95 masks from the outset of the provide a more powerful,concentrated effect of COVID-19 pandemic. ultraviolet energy than can be found naturally. UV-C creates bonds between nucleobases in the RNA of a virus.making it unable to spread. R-Zero's Guide to UV-C and Arc 3 3 6/1/2021 3 Key Advantages of UV-C Highly Effective:Manual disinfection is labor-intensive,error-prone and only covers surfaces.UV-C devices disinfect everything the light touches- floors,ceilings,walls,furniture, air...everything. Roomsare up to 99.99%disinfected inminutes. Safer Than Chemicals:While UV-C isjust light,manual wipe-downs and electrostatic sprayers (aerosols)can be harmful to human health,causing issuesfrom skin and eye irritation all the way up to occupational asthma and even cancer.They can also damage electronics and furniture and are generally unsafe aroundfood. More Cost-Effective:Other forms of disinfection require chemical refills,PPE,dedicated operators and other safety equipment. UV-C requires none of those things and takes far less time. In fact, cleaning crews can be dual-tasking while the UV-C device is completing a cycle. r _ 4 6/1/2021 R-Zero Arc Brings Fast, Hospital Grade Disinfection to the Masses Arc is the first hospital-grade UV-C disinfection system designed for the dynamic environments of every business and organization. Offering the highest level of infection prevention,Arc is proven to disinfect 99.99%of surface and airborne pathogens in a 1,000 sq. ft. room,in just 7 minutes.It's the same technology that hospitals use for a fraction of the cost. In fact,Arc isengineered to deliver an even higher efficacy than hospital products and shorter cycle times than other UV-C products. Testing Data Proves the Hospital-Grade Efficacy of Arc At R-Zero,one of our core company values is to lead with science. Real-world simulated experiments were performed on Arc,in alignment with current best practices,to best evaluate the performance and efficacy of R-Zero's flagship device against deadly pathogens. BioScience Labs,an ISO-accredited independent laboratory, tested Arc against live biological samples of human coronavirus,feline calicivirus{FCV)[norovirus family], MRSA and E.coli carriers. Testswere conducted per ASTM E3135-18 and ASTM E1053-11 standards,which are recognized by the EPA,CDC and FDA,in order to determine the efficacy of R-Zero's UV-C system.Across all tests, a single seven-minute cycle with Arc achieved a 99.99%+reduction of pathogens at a distance of eightfeet.

Its low center of gravity makes it easy to wheel down a hallway or around a room and it fits seamlessly into your existing cleaning workflows. Yourcrew can position it in a room and start a cycle in under a minute,then step outside and multi-task until it's done. Here's How Arc Works 1 Roll it into a room 4 Press start 2.Plug it in 5. Exit the room 3 Set the timer 6 Return to a clinically clean room What's Happening Duringthe Cycle w The device uses an electric arc through vaporized mercury,which ionizes and causes the lamp to radiate mainly ultraviolet,violet,and blue emission lines.Eight UV-C bulbs produce primarily 253.7nm wavelength light that destroys pathogens. Yrze.o _. Making the Invisible Visible Other disinfection methods offer very little visibility into which areas and surfaces have actually been covered by the �• staff.But since Arc is a smart,connected device,it leaves an audit trail of your disinfection activities.Arc transmits data to our cloud-based analytics dashboard,allowing you to track usage(where,when how long,etc.)and monitor compliance in real time You can even communicate this data to employees and customers so that they can feel safe in your spaces. mom 6 6/1/2021 Comprehensive - � Safety Features Protect Your Staff Arc features redundant built-in safety mechanisms, like motion sensors, to minimize risk and ensure virtually zero human exposure.We train your team so they know how to use Arc safely and effectively, and we educate your operators about UV-C exposure risks,proper operating protocols, and the safety features.And we also provide warning signs, onboarding and training certifications for your staff so they understand how to use Arc safely and effectively. A 30-second pre-cycle countdown gives operatorsplenty of time to exit the room before a UV-C cycle begins. i The timer is also paired with a visual pulsing light halo at the top of the device to provide a visual warning that a cycle is about to begin. Even when the countdown completes,the cycle will not start if there is anyone present. In the event someone enters the room during a cycle, four long-range 360°PIR sensors will detect that motion in the room and automatically shut the device off to prevent exposure. r t Since Arc generates and emits data,you will be able to see details of all cycle interruption events in real time. o J �� QJ R-Zero's Guide to UV-C and Arc 7 7 6/1/2021 Common Questions Answered Can UV-C Disinfect in the Shadows? Theability to kill anorganism is a function of the strength of a UV-C ray and the duration of exposure.Arc powerfully disinfect s both surfaces and the air around them. While direct exposure is most effective,the light reflects off surfaces and"bends"to cover more than just areas with direct exposure. What About Obstacles? If a room has big,light-blocking objects,we do recommend running two shorter cycles in diagonal spots in the same room to reduce shadowing. However,the name of the game is risk reduction,and high-traffic, high-touch areas are typically the ones that will be exposed to direct UV-C light(e.g.top part of a table vs behind acouch). Can UV-C Penetrate Glass? No.UV-C cannot penetrate glass,so you can run a disinfect ion cycle in rooms that have windows without harming anyone or anything on the other side of the windows. Is it Safe Around Equipment? Yes.UV-C light is safe to use around all kind of equipment,technology and even food. How Long Does a Cycle Take? Cycle times depend on the sizeof a space.Arc can destroy over 99.99%of pathogens in a 1,000 sq ft space injust 7 minutes.A 3500 sq ft space will take around 12 minutes while a 500 sq ft space can be disinfected in around 3minutes. Where Do I Positionthe Device? As part of our on-boarding process,our infection prevention specialists will help determine where in your space Arc should be positioned.Generally speaking,we recommend positioning Arc centrally in the room being treated.As mentioned above,if there are large obstructions in the room that may cause shadowing, we recommend running two shorter cycles on either side of the obstruction. What Arethe Power Requirements to Run Arc? Arc plugs right into any standard 3-pronged wall outlet and consumes 1,440W of power. Any more questions?

When milestone target of 60% has not been achieved. II. When the Partner's progress on specific milestones does not meet the expectations as stated in items X (ten) and XI (eleven) of the original MTP Contract under section "Partner's Roles& responsibilities." a. The Partner will complete tasks and deliverables as set forth in the Change Plan. b. Partner will show evidence for expansion or deepening of partnership's projects. The purpose of the PIP is to define areas of concern and/or gaps in a partner's performance, iterate CPAA's expectations going forward, and allow the partner an opportunity to demonstrate rapid improvement following quarterly reporting. To facilitate sustained improvement, the PIP will be used in conjunction with your organization's modified Change Plan to monitor progress on MTP work. If the Partner is placed on a PIP, improvement expectations must be satisfied in the timeframe listed below. If expectations are not met within the timeframe, an extension may be granted. Until the PIP is completed, quarterly payments may be delayed. PIP activities should be fulfilled, as necessary, along with any overlapping milestones in subsequent quarters. PIP Timeframe: 30 days upon receipt of signed PIP and approved PIP activities. Steps 1. Once CPAA establishes that a partner's performance is below the quarterly milestone completion target, CPAA will meet with the partner to discuss the PIP process. 2. CPAA will complete the PIP form, email it to the partner to be signed, and approve PIP activities developed by the partner. 3. The partner and CPAA will work together during the PIP time period on performance monitoring and to document the partner's progress. 4. At the end of the PIP timeframe, CPAA will assess whether the partner has met the improvement expectations outlined below. If the PIP has been completed to satisfaction, CPAA will meet with the partner to formally close the PIP and release any delayed quarterly payments. If sufficient improvement has not occurred, an extension may be granted or your organization may be dropped from a project area or as a Medicaid Transformation Partner. Contract# K2293-202025-01 CPAA MTP 2021 Contract Amendment P a g e 17 Improvement Expectations • Develop a list of granular activities leading to the completion of unmet milestones or a list of activities to satisfy a related scope of work if unmet milestones cannot be achieved. These activities will be documented in a new tab in the partner's Change Plan, provided by CPAA. • Activities should adequately reflect the scope of work being implemented. • Achieve 90%compliance of completed activities by the end of the PIP timeframe. • At the end of the PIP timeframe, attend a meeting with CPAA Program Managers to discuss progress. If your organization is currently on a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP),the timeline to demonstrate improvement will be no later than 90 days after receipt of a signed PIP.

Local Health Jurisdictions may have additional requirements related to COVID-19. This updated Directive addresses vaccination status verification in Section IV.E, and supersedes DD 1.70, dated December 22, 2020. Mason County adopts the following procedure to be consistent with the Mason County Pandemic Policy. This guidance allows employees to unmask in work environments when fully vaccinated.

Local Health Jurisdictions may have additional requirements related to COVID-19.This updated Directive addresses vaccination status verification in Section IV.E, and supersedes DD 1.70, dated December 22, 2020. Mason County adopts the following procedure to be consistent with the Mason County Pandemic Policy. This guidance allows employees to unmask in work environments when fully vaccinated. Vaccination Status Verification. Workers who are vaccinated against COVID-19 by a two-dose mRNA vaccine (such as Moderna and Pfizer), or a single dose vaccine (such as Johnson &Johnson), are considered "fully vaccinated"two weeks after the final dose of vaccine (the second dose for a two-dose regimen, or the single dose for a single-dose regimen). An employee is eligible to unmask when the following criteria are met: • The employee has completed the full vaccination series. • The appropriate amount of time has passed according to the manufacturer's guidance for the employee to be fully protected. Workers who have not received an FDA-authorized or WHO- listed COVID-19 vaccine must not be considered fully vaccinated. • The employer is not required to verify vaccination status if masking and physical distancing are to be maintained; employers have the choice to maintain masking and physical distancing in their workplaces. • If a worker declines to provide verification of their vaccination status,they are not considered fully vaccinated. • Mason County must have a demonstrable process to verify vaccination status but will not keep a copy of employee vaccination records which may require secure and confidential handling as a medical record.The following procedure applies: 1.The employee presents proof of vaccination to that employee's manager. Acceptable verification of vaccination status is: a. A CDC vaccination card (which includes name of person vaccinated,type of vaccine provided, and date last dose administered), OR b. A photo of a CDC vaccination card as a separate document or a photo of the attendee's vaccine card stored on a phone or electronic device, OR c. Documentation of vaccination from a health care provider or state immunization information system record, OR d. A hard copy or electronically signed self-attestation from the employee. Mason County will provide an electronic or hard copy attestation form. 2.The employee's manager will document the verification and log that information on a form provided by HR and return the documentation to the employee. Attestations will be retained by the County. 3. Mason County must provide evidence of their process to verify employee vaccination status to L&I upon request. Attestation of Vaccination In accordance with CDC guidelines and Washington Labor and Industries guideline DOSH Directive 1.70 (Updated: May 21, 2021) (www.Ini.wa.gov/DD170), I attest that I am fully vaccinated for COVID-19. Signature Date DOSH DIRECTIVE Department of Labor and Industries Division of Occupational Safety and Health Keeping IVadiington S'rfe and IForkinq 1.70 General Coronavirus Prevention Under Stay Safe - Stay Healthy Order Updated: May 21, 2021 I. Purpose This Directive provides enforcement policy when evaluating workplace implementation of social distancing,facial coverings and respiratory protection,sanitation and sick employee practices as required under the Governor's Stay Home—Stay Healthy Order. On December 10, 2020,the Governor amended this order to"Stay Safe-Stay Healthy"(Proclamation 20-25.9). Under the Order,people are required to stay home except where the Governor has authorized regional or industry specific permission to restart operations or operate essential businesses. Employers who continue operations under the Order are required to maintain coronavirus prevention practices consistent with DOSH,OSHA and Department of Health guidance. Coronavirus is recognized as a very serious workplace hazard. II. Scope and Application A. Under the WISH Act and existing DOSH rules,employers are required to protect workers from hazards and implement programs to address known hazards in the workplace. B. DOSH staff will limit actions related to infectious disease only when there is an aspect of exposure that is specific to the relationship between employers and workers. DOSH will do so in a manner consistent with public health orders and issued guidance. C. There are extensive recommendations for healthcare workplaces with specific guidance related to treatment of COVID-19 patients and the related infectious disease control measures. This Directive will not normally be used by DOSH staff in specific healthcare delivery work task settings for hospital and clinic workers who are delivering care directly with COVID-19 patients. All other hospital and clinic work,such as maintenance, food preparation and delivery,administrative support, and supplies,are covered by this Directive. D. This Directive does cover workers providing healthcare services for people not known or suspected of having COVID-19. This work must follow procedures for Universal or Standard Precautions,or equivalent programs, as recommended by the CDC. This includes current recommendations to address COVID-19 as a community transmission hazard and potential for transmission by asymptomatic people in specific healthcare specialties. E. DOSH has updated this Directive to be consistent with current CDC,Washington State DOH, and Washington State Governor's guidance for persons fiilly vaccinated for COVID-19. Local Health Jurisdictions may have additional requirements related to COVID-19. This updated Directive addresses vaccination status verification in Section IV.E,and supersedes DD 1.70, dated December 22, 2020. DOSH Directive 1.70(Updated: May 21,2021) Page 3 of 16 2. Maintain social distancing(at least 6 feet of distance)or effective engineering/administrative controls; 3. Increased regular cleaning and sanitization of common-touch surfaces; 4. Ensure frequent and adequate employee handwashing and facilities; and 5. Make sure sick employees stay home(or are isolated)or go home and have procedures for workers to report a suspected or confirmed case of COVID-19. NOTE:For employees that are fully vaccinated per CDC guidelines, there are exceptions to requirement(2)above. See sections N.A. and IV.E,for details. Employers must also provide basic workplace hazard education about coronavirus and how to prevent transmission in the language best understood by the employee. DOSH staff will need to be thoughtful on how these five elements are addressed based on the challenges that the specific worksite tasks present,but all four elements must be addressed in each operating workplace. DOSH Staff shall ensure that employers and employees are made aware that it is against the law for any employer to take any adverse action(such as firing, demotion, or otherwise retaliate) against a worker they suspect for exercising safety and health rights such as raising safety and health concerns to their employer,participating in union activities concerning safety and health matters, filing a safety and health complaint or participating in a DOSH investigation. DOSH Staff will ensure workers are informed they have 30 days to file their complaint with L&I DOSH and/or with Federal OSHA. Additionally,per Chapter 252, Laws of 2021 (ESSB 5115),DOSH staff shall ensure that employers and employees are made aware that no employer may discharge, permanently replace,or in any manner discriminate against an employee who is at high risk of contracting COVID-19 seeking accommodation that protects them from COVID-19 exposure. Employers must institute these prevention program elements or equivalent protections to limit the spread of the disease within the workplace under-DOSH rules and in connection to the Governor's Order. These procedures are specific to COVID-19 prevention and the related virus. If a workplace has a concern about exposures to another pathogen,Technical Services must be consulted on procedures specific to that pathogen. A. Basic Program Elements. The following bold program elements are essential to the program whenever applicable. Employers who can establish work rules consistent with this section are not required to have further active monitoring or ongoing assessment of their workplace unless required by a separate requirement. (See applicable Safe Start guidelines and Chapter 296-307 WAC,Part L, Temporm y Worker Housing(TWH).) 1. Educate workers(and customers) about COVID-19 and how to prevent virus spread. a. Post posters/information from the local health department, state Department of Health,Center for Disease Control and Prevention,and other authorities. b. Inform workers about the steps being taken in the workplace to establish social distancing, increased handwashing, and to prevent the spread of the virus. c. Make information for workers available in the language they understand best. DOSH Directive 1.70 (Updated: May 21, 2021) Page 5 of 16 Meetings with workers are limited by the maximum occupancy specified by the Safe Start guidelines for the business and phase the county is currently in, and are to maintain 6 foot spacing of all in attendance. If there are no Safe Start guidelines applicable to an establishment,the limits are: 10%occupancy for Phase 1; 30%occupancy for Phase 2; 50%occupancy for Phase 3; and limited by social distancing for Phase 4. 3. Regular cleaning of area,frequent cleaning of common-touch surfaces. a. A cleaning schedule must be kept to maintain general housekeeping to prevent buildup of dirt and clutter. b. The first step in cleaning is to remove buildups of dirt and other materials on surfaces. Water and soap or other cleaning fluids are used with wipes, clothes, brushes or other physical means of removing these materials so that there is no visible build-up, smears,or streaks on the surface. Disinfecting is the second step and is primarily needed for high touch surfaces. Effective diluted bleach solutions or an EPA approved disinfectant must be used to make sure this is effective. (See the list of approved disinfectants at littps://www.epa.gov/pesticide- registration/l ist-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2). Surfaces that are commonly touched with the hands but difficult to clean(fabric, rough surfaces,and so forth)may need to be covered to make sure the environment is hygienic. c. Cleaning supplies need to be available to workers to do spot cleaning when necessary. d. Surfaces that are regularly touched by workers must be cleaned regularly to maintain a visibly clean state(no obvious soiling, smearing,or streaks). • For surfaces touched by multiple workers, this can be on a frequent schedule, or between workers. • For surfaces touched by a single worker,this needs to be done periodically, at least once per shift or when unclean, as a minimum. 4. Workers must have facilities for frequent handwashing readily available, including hot and cold(or tepid)running water and soap. a. DOSH staff must pay particular attention to transient outdoor work,delivery workers and non-fixed worksites where there are no exceptions being granted. Portable wash stations are readily available. b. To facilitate more frequent cleaning,secondary handwashing or sanitizing stations can be provided with either hand sanitizes,or wipes/towelettes. c. Gloves may be used to enhance hand hygiene and reduce spread of the COVID-19 virus,but must also be changed or cleaned frequently to be effective for this purpose. (Bare hand contact with the virus is not the concern. The concern is transferring the virus to the face or other surfaces with the hands. Gloved hands will transfer the virus as effectively as bare hands.) DOSH Directive 1.70 (Updated: May 21, 2021) Page 7 of 16 2. Job modifications may be necessary to facilitate appropriate social distancing. Although an operation may be overall part of an essential industry or service, there may be portions of the work which can be deferred until a later time. In some cases, reorganizing the work may be necessary to break up tasks in a manner that facilitates social distancing or other protective measures. 3. Health surveillance can be done to identify early signs of infection, and separate workers who may present a risk to others. a. There will usually be an initial screening and then periodic review(probably daily with COVID-19). b. Initial screening will involve some review of the worker's history that may be relevant to their risk of contracting the disease. This may also include review of the worker's susceptibility to the disease and an education element on the disease and prevention. c. Periodic screening will involve tracking symptoms and ongoing risks for contracting the disease. d. The employer should set up surveillance in consultation with a physician or occupational health nurse and consider having ongoing participation or review by the healthcare professional. e. The employer needs to consult with health professionals and determine whether the program relies on self-reporting by workers or if someone will be actively reviewing worker health on a regular basis. 4. Personal protective equipment is helpful to prevent transmission of the disease. 5. Face shields can prevent direct exposure to expelled droplets and provide protection from disinfectants, in addition to coverings,masks and respirators. 6. Respirators require care in use and management under a program covered by the Respirator rule, Chapter 296-842 WAC. Respirators are not to be used in lieu of social distancing,but may be appropriate where workers must have close proximity to others for extended periods to accomplish work tasks that can be done no other way. 7. Surgical face masks(loose fitting cloth covers over the mouth and nose)do not prevent respiration of fine aerosols and are not protective in close proximity. The primary purpose for these devices are to prevent exposures to others and may have a use when individuals enter the workplace with a cough or sneeze. C. Evaluate Special Circumstances. There are situations where strict social distancing may not be generally feasible for employer provided housing and businesses with extensive public interaction. There are also exceptional situations where an essential activity worker-may be permitted to continue work following potential exposure to COVID-19,to ensure continuity of operations of essential functions, such as when cessation of operation of a facility may cause serious harm or danger to public health or safety. The following sections provide additional considerations which are applicable in these specific situations. DOSH Directive 1.70(Updated: May 21,2021) Page 9 of 16 c. Provide supplemental washing facilities to allow additional handwashing when workers handle objects after others, such as: • Hand sanitizer stations • Wipes or towelettes • Tepid water and soap in portable containers. NOTE: Gloves may be provided, but also must be washed regularly to prevent the spread of the virus. This may help for workers whose hands are bothered by frequent washing. 3. Quarantine and Isolation. The requirements for people to quarantine or isolate are set by local health jurisdictions and apply to the individual. DOSH does not enforce these orders for individuals,but does expect employers to set rules to prevent people with known or potential COVID-19 virus infection,from entering the workplace. (Note that healthcare facilities may follow the CDC guidance specific to these settings--Interim U.S. Guidance for Risk Assessment and Work Restrictions for Healthcare Personnel with Potential Exposure to COVID-19.) Definitions • Quarantine refers to sequestering after contact with a suspected or known COVID-19 case. The safest quarantine period ends 14 days after the last close contact with someone who has COVID-19. Most fully vaccinated individuals do not need to quarantine unless they are symptomatic for COVID-19,work in correctional facilities or homeless shelters, or are required to quarantine by their Local Health Jurisdiction. • Isolation refers to sequestering when the individual is believed to be infected with SARS-CoV-2(the virus that causes COVID-19) such as when someone has symptoms of COVID-19, or when someone tests positive for infection with SARS-CoV-2. CDC guidance on quarantine and isolation,including specifics of contact requiring quarantine and ending the quarantine or isolation are given here: https://www.cdc.gov/coron av i rus/2019-n cov/i f-you-are-sick/quarantine.html Essential activities workers with potential exposure to a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 case, coming to common workplaces. These workers may have an infection,but not be symptomatic. There is a risk that they could spread the infection to other workers a. No worker who should be in isolation may be allowed into a common workplace with other workers. b. People who have been in close contact with someone else with COVID-19 must not be allowed into the common workplace with other workers within 14 days of their last contact,except under the following circumstances. • When allowed by the local health jurisdiction,quarantine maybe reduced to: - 10 days,or - No less than 7 days if the quarantined individual has a negative test result taken no more than 48 hours before ending quarantine. DOSH Directive 1.70 (Updated: May 21,2021) Page 11 of 16 d. If the worker becomes sick during the shift, they should be sent home immediately. Surfaces in their workspace should be cleaned and disinfected. Information on persons who had contact with the ill employee during the time the employee had symptoms,and 2 days prior to symptoms,should be compiled. Others at the facility with close contact within 6 feet of the employee during this time would be considered exposed. e. Employers considering allowing potentially exposed workers to remain at the workplace during quarantine should consider the following preparatory actions. (For further information consult the CDC guideline document COVID-19 Critical Infrastructure Sector Response Planning) • Workers must not share headsets or other objects that are near the mouth or nose. • Employers must increase the frequency of cleaning commonly touched surfaces. • Employers should work with facility maintenance staff to increase air exchanges in room. • Workers must physically distance themselves when they take breaks together. Stagger breaks and don't congregate in the break room, and don't share food or utensils. 4. Working with people in non-healthcare(human)settings who have suspect or confirmed COVID-19. Generally, this situation should be avoided,using remote services or delaying work until the COVID-19 case is resolved.However,some cases such as emergency repairs in the residence of the patient, emergency pet veterinary services, or delivery of essential goods to the residence may require workers to be in the presence of an ill individual. a. Workers must be informed of the individual's health status. b. When practicable,the ill individual must wear a medical procedure mask. c. Workers must be provided and required to wear a respirator. A half-face elastomeric respirator with N-95 cartridges,or other respirator with the same or higher protection must be used. Fit-testing and other respirator program elements must be complied with. See chapter 296-842 WAC,Respirators. d. Other personal protective equipment such as gloves,aprons,gowns, and head coverings should be considered to prevent contamination of the worker's body or street clothes. Handwashing and other hygiene resources must be available to the worker as needed during the work and at the conclusion. D. Evaluation of respiratory protection for COVID-19 protection in healthcare when not treating suspect or known COVID-19 patients. Healthcare facilities must follow social distancing guidelines including general provisions and any specific requirements set by the Governor. It is expected that all healthcare practitioners will follow Universal or Standard Precautions,or equivalent protocols to address infection control for all infectious diseases. The following specific requirements may be evaluated by DOSH staff when considering COVID-19 hazards: DOSH Directive 1.70(Updated: May 21, 2021) Page 13 of 16 3. Evaluation of PPE other than respirators. a. Other personal protective equipment,such as gloves, gowns,face shields,and head covers, generally will be determined based on general clinical guidelines. b. When there is a procedure which could predictably result in coughing or sneezing by the patient which could directly expose the worker,DOSH staff will review PPE to ensure it covers the workers body and street clothes and prevent soaking through. Scrubs may be worn as PPE if the employer allows workers to change out at the end of shift and launders the clothing. c. Medical establishments may be required to meet health department or FDA standards for PPE. Compliance with these standards is not addressed by DOSH staff. E. Vaccination Status Verification. Workers who are vaccinated against COVID-19 by a two-dose mRNA vaccine(such as Moderna and Pfizer), or a single dose vaccine(such as Johnson& Johnson),are considered"fully vaccinated"two weeks after the final dose of vaccine(the second dose for a two-dose regimen,or the single dose for a single-dose regimen). Workers who have been vaccinated outside the United States with a vaccine that has received World Health Organization(WHO) Emergency Use Listing(EUL) are considered fully vaccinated if: • The worker has completed the full vaccination series. • The appropriate amount of time has passed according to the manufacturer's guidance for the worker to be fully protected. Workers who have not received an FDA-authorized or WHO-listed COVID-19 vaccine must not be considered fully vaccinated. 1. The employer is not required to verify vaccination status if masking and physical distancing are to be maintained; employers have the choice to maintain masking and physical distancing in their workplaces. 2. If a worker declines to provide verification of their vaccination status,they are not considered fully vaccinated. 3. The employer must have a demonstrable process to verify vaccination status,but is not required to keep a copy of employee vaccination records which may require secure and confidential handling as a medical record. The employer must establish a way of demonstrating they have verified vaccination status for unmasked workers. Examples may include: a. Creating a log of the names of workers who have been verified as fully vaccinated and the date that the verification was done,OR b. Checking vaccination status each day as workers enter a jobsite,OR c. Marking a worker's badge,site credential,or other individually identified item to indicate the worker's status as fully vaccinated, OR d. Documented worker attestations of vaccination, OR e. Other methods that demonstrate an employer has verified a worker has been fully vaccinated. DOSH Directive 1.70(Updated: May 21, 2021) Page 15 of 16 B. Housekeeping. Where a workplace is not being cleaned and kept sanitary per public health guidance,a violation of WAC 296-800-22005,Keep your workplace clean,may be considered. A serious classification should be strongly considered. C. Handwashing. 1. There is a requirement for handwashing facilities that applies to all workplaces at all times. A serious and potential willful violation of WAC 296-800-23025,Provide convenient and clean washing facilities,will be considered whenever workers do not have basic handwashing facilities available at all, or they are grossly inadequate in either number or maintenance. 2. Where employers cannot provide unlimited access to full handwashing facilities at all times, they must provide alternate means for frequent hand cleaning. A serious classification should be strongly considered if not adequate to achieve prevention. This is specifically necessary where workers regularly handle or touch objects or surfaces touched by others. Alternate hand cleaning may include: a. Portable wash stations with tepid water and soap. b. Wipes or towclettes with water and soap. c. Hand sanitizer stations. D. Safe Place Violations. 1. Workplace conditions which have a direct potential for worker exposure to the COVID-19 virus may be cited under WAC 296-800-11005,Provide a workplacefr•ee from recognized hazards. This is the primary code to use for social distancing practice violations. This may include situations such as ineffective barrier or ventilation systems, or specifically allowing workers to be in close proximity,but where there is no written record of a policy or management decision. Masking violations requiring devices not normally considered respirators may be cited under this section(cloth face coverings or medical procedure masks). Violations of employee vaccination status verification may be cited under this section. 2. Violations of this section are safe place violations in that they must be serious in classification and must follow the Compliance Manual instructions for safe place. 3. For construction inspections,use WAC 296-155-040(1). For agriculture inspections, use WAC 296 307-045 (1). E. Respirator Violations. Violations involving proper use of respirators, including N95 filtering facepieces,PAPRs, and elastomeric facepiece respirators will normally be cited from chapter 296-842 WAC, Respirators. When these devices are used in place of a cloth face covering or medical procedure mask due to social distancing rules from public health authorities or the governor, the use will be considered voluntary use for compliance purposes. Protection from contaminated aerosols is required use. MASON COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS—COMMISSIONER BRIEFING June 7,2021 Briefing Items • Time extension on the Kennedy/Jenks Consultant,Inc.
