Safety plans for state parks employees

Before any state parks employee is sent into hazardous conditions, the Office must have an approved safety plan. Plans list risks, steps to reduce them, team roles, an on-site lead, a chain of command, emergency contacts, and evacuation steps. The commissioner or a designee reviews and approves each plan, checks training, and confirms the mission is essential. When working with other entities, the Office makes reasonable efforts to share this safety information with employees. This rule does not slow routine work or immediate responses to threats to life or property. The law takes effect immediately.
