Air quality in Orange and Bathurst in NSW remain at dangerous levels. Members working in these areas should request indoor duties or go home.
Those in Port Macquarie, Lismore, Oakdale, Armidale, Gunnedah, Tamworth, Goulburn, and Muswellbrook in NSW and the entire ACT region should limit strenuous outdoor activity and take extra rest breaks – those in these areas with existing respiratory or heart conditions, request indoor duties or go home.
Whilst conditions are improving across the rest of our regions, it any member feels that their health and safety is being affected due to the air quality in their particular area of outdoor duties should request indoor duties or go home also.
Any member that requires assistance with this matter should contact us immediately on (02) 9893 7822.
We will continue to keep this post updated throughout the day should the advice change.
