and there you have it folks!! another mangers disregard for our safety. you know i'd like to see the mangers try to do what we do maybe then they'd be willing to show some concern, but until then i'm sure some disney imagenear is working to make animtronic cast members, who won't make a fuss about their health. :twisted:

If you are working outdoors, then you should be protected. just like when you get an XRAY, the xray techs all wear lead aprons to protect themselves from the radiation exposure. The patients are never shielded in lead. Why? Well, just like the CMs, they are exposed to the danger ALL day, so they needed protection.

We need protection from guests since we are exposed to THAT danger everyday. :)

i agree... if they would just give us guns... guests would be much more inclined to do as we say...

I know that in 1998 when 3/4 of the state of FL was on fire, the ash and smoke was severe (many time causing false signal 25 alarms). At that time we did not have CDS (aka Deployment) and our managers would only allow us to be outside in position for no more than 15 minutes then we rotated inside. However our poor work mates in all outdoor areas were sick and coughing and some even got HOT falling ash on them and got light burns, they were roted inside as much as possible with overstaffing.
Now with CDS we will be stuck outside for up to two hours if it ever God Forbid happen again.
My hearts and prayers go out to you all in CA. Be safe, buy a mask(tax deductable as a work expense like reqiuired shoes, socks, etc.) at least here we have the right to wear them as long as we remove them to talk to Guests (at least we did in 1998).

In case this should come up again (and since the Hills were alive with the sound of, well, fire, it could come up again), y'all should know the facts about facemasks.

First, unless California OSHA is different from the rest of the Union (which it could be), the omly facemasks for which OSHA has rules are the ones that say NIOSH on them. Any mask that's approved by NIOSH (you don't need to know this, but it's the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) is considered a respirator. Any mask that isn't approved by NIOSH (you won't find that acronym anywhere on the mask, the instructions, or the box it came in) is not a respirator and you can wear it to your heart's content.

Unless you are somewhere that you NEED a respirator ("need" defined by exceeding airborne limits). Then all bets are off. But for ash, more than likely you're not someplace where you're exceeding anything (even as annying as it can be).

Disneyland does have a safety office, and more than likely they have an industrial hygienist on staff (I've seen job announcements for the park, so I assume they have one still). If you're being tweaked around by cluelss managers, I encourage you to call the safety office and ask them. You have the right to hear the real answer, unfiltered by managers who don't understand what they are hearing, straight frrom the horse's mouth.

Instead of the other end.

Cheers!
