The Governor of Washington State has issued a statewide order that requires all employees to wear a cloth facial covering.

This order goes into effect Monday, June 8, 2020.

What You Need to Know

• Employers must provide cloth facial coverings to employees, unless their exposure dictates a higher level of protection under the Department of Labor and Industries’ safety and health rules and guidance.
• Employees may choose to wear their own facial coverings at work, provided it meets the minimum requirements.
• TERRA has facial coverings available. Please contact your nearest TERRA office if you need a facial covering.

Face Covering Exceptions:

• If your job has no in-person interaction.
• If you are, or are communicating with, an individual who is deaf or hard of hearing – or who relies on language cues such as facial markers and expression and mouth movements as a part of communication.
