Orientación sobre calor, fuego, humo y cortes de energía
Información para empleados de la ciudad, DPO, profesionales de RR.HH. y gerentes sobre la seguridad de los empleados y las licencias en caso de calor, incendio, humo y cortes de energía.
Los incendios forestales han afectado significativamente al área de la Bahía de San Francisco en los últimos años. Estos incendios han obligado a los empleados a evacuar sus hogares principales. Los cortes de suministro eléctrico por motivos de seguridad pública para mitigar los incendios forestales han dejado sin suministro eléctrico a los hogares de los empleados, a veces durante varios días. El humo de los incendios en la zona ha obligado a nuestros trabajadores a tomar precauciones adicionales.
