Wildfire Smoke Exposure
Effective January 1, 2026, Nevada requires covered employers to establish a communication system to inform employees who work outdoors of dangerous air quality index (AQI) levels due to wildfire smoke exposure and to receive information from employees about related symptoms they are experiencing.
In addition, the Administrator of Nevada's Division of Industrial Relations is tasked with adopting further regulations to reduce employee exposure to poor air quality caused by wildfire smoke.
