Washington farmworkers must be provided with smoke-filtering masks when air quality reaches the threshold that federal regulators consider unhealthy for the public, the state Department of Labor and Industries says. The emergency rule went into effect July 16, though L&I investigators won t begin enforcing it until July 23, department spokeswoman Dina Lorraine said. L&I pulled back from an earlier proposal to enforce a mask rule at an air-quality level the Environmental Protection Agency considers acceptable, except for people unusually sensitive to smoke. Instead, L&I adopted California s standard, the only other state that regulates farmworkers laboring in wildfire smoke. The department will revisit the threshold as it writes a rule for next wildfire season, Lorraine said.
