Location of alleged hazard(s): Assessors office 240 Nw Vancouver Ave Stevenson, WA 98648-6447 Description of alleged hazard(s): Skamania County has chosen to make decisions regarding telecommuting opposite of the guidelines and recommendations of every agency that provides guidance to both local governments and employers, including the Governor, Washington State Department of Health, WSAC, WCRP. Instead of minimizing health hazards by allowing telecommuting they are forcing people into small offices making a negligible work environment into a med/high risk environment. Neither Skamania County nor my department have provided or trained us on specific procedures for protection against COVID-19 infection as required per LNI. We have only received the LNI Basic Training PPT that says at the end our employer is required to provide specific procedures and our department will have additional guidelines to sign. On Monday, July 27th employees present in the Assessors were not wearing masks. office were wearing masks. One employee put one on after a while and the other one never put a mask on while I was in the office. Skamania County appears to only be considering the COVID-19 risks involved with having visitors in the building and not the risk of employees sharing an office.. They have put up screens on the counters but have not addressed the high risk of employee to employee infection.
