24. District Safety Committee Update Wildfire guidance issued AB 685 Protocol being developed, which goes into effect January 1, 2021: Notice of potential exposure required to be given to the following within one business day of receiving notice: Employees and employee association Employers of subcontracted employees Per the District s existing protocol, the Local Public Health Department is requested contact tracing and for quarantine guidance. All parties identified who may have been exposed as determined by the County Public Health Department are directly notified by the County. What is a notice of potential exposure per AB685? A public employer is considered to have notice of potential exposure to COVID-19 at a worksite when the public employer receives notice from: A public health official or licensed medical provider that an employee was exposed to a qualifying individual at the worksite; An employee, or their emergency contact, that the employee is a qualifying individual ; The results of the public employer s testing protocols that the employee is a qualifying individual ; or A subcontracted employer that a qualifying individual was on the worksite of the public employer. 24

25. District Safety Committee Update Who is a Qualifying Individual for Purposes of AB 685? A qualifying individual means any person who has: A laboratory-confirmed case of COVID-19, as defined by the California Department of Public Health ( CDPH ); A positive COVID-19 diagnosis from a licensed health care provider; A COVID-19-related order to isolate provided by a public health official; or Died due to COVID-19, in the determination of a county public health department or per inclusion in the COVID- 19 statistics of a county. What is a Worksite for Purposes of AB 685? A worksite is defined as the building, store, facility, agricultural field, or other location where an employee worked during the infectious period. It does not apply to buildings, floors, or other locations of the public employer that a qualified individual did not enter. Consequently, in a multi-worksite environment, the term worksite is limited to those buildings that the qualified individual entered during the infectious period. In that case, the public employer would only need to notify employees in those buildings that the qualified individual entered. What is the Infectious Period for Purposes of AB 685? The infectious period is defined as the time a COVID-19-positive individual is infectious, as defined by the CDPH. According to the latest guidance from the CDC and the CDPH, the infectious period is approximately 10 days. 25

26. District Safety Committee Update What Information Should be Included in the Notice? A statement advising employees that they may have been exposed to COVID19 at the workplace (without identifying the sick employee); Information regarding COVID-19-related benefits to which the employee may be entitled under applicable federal, state, or local laws including, but not limited to, workers compensation and COVID-19-related leave Information regarding the disinfection and safety plan that the public employer plans to implement and complete per the guidelines of the CDC. Districts not required to notify members of the general public (who happened to be at the worksite during the infectious period) of the potential exposure to COVID-19. 26

27.
