Women’s Business Center in San Luis Obispo to Distribute Free N95 Masks

August 17, 2021 @ 10:30 am - 7:00 pm

Businesses that need to comply with CA requirements can get masks for their employees

In a proactive effort to support local businesses with CalOSHA’s COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards, the Women’s Business Center of San Luis Obispo County is partnering with PPE Unite, the Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) and the Governor’s Office of Emergency Services to distribute free N95 face masks on August 17.

The latest State regulations requires that California workplaces supply N95 masks for their workers who may need it.  As of June 17, the State rolled out a program that requires businesses to report which of their employees has been vaccinated or not, and promptly supply each non-vaccinated employee with an N95 respirator mask at the business owner’s expense.  Employees who decline to provide proof of vaccination or who have a medical exemption are treated as non-vaccinated and mandated to wear the appropriate N95 mask. Employees that have been vaccinated can also choose to wear masks.

As the infection rates of COVID and the Delta variant continue to rise, industries such as assisted living, homeless shelters, schools, theatres, family entertainment centers, retail and restaurant businesses will need to be prepared.

To support San Luis Obispo County’s small business community, the Women’s Business Center is offering masks at no charge on Tuesday, August 17 from 10:30am to 7:00pm at their headquarters, 71 Zaca Lane, Ste. 130.  The one-day pickup event is by appointment only to minimize contact and enhance safety protocols per the recent surge of the variant.  Over 2,000 masks are available. Each employee that is unvaccinated/eligible can receive up to 30 masks.  Contact Program Coordinator, Laura Edwards, at (805) 595-1357 or [email protected] to schedule an appointment.
