NYC 9/11 Public Portal Document

Edison facility by the New York National Guard to the New York City Office of Emergency Management for distribution to response workers.

As the rescue phase progressed, EPA emergency response officials told us they were concerned about the lack of respirator use at Ground Zero and outlined these concerns in a letter to NYCDOH, dated October 5,2001. This letter outlined the threat of potential exposure of workers to hazardous substances. The letter noted that EPA had recommended and continued to recommend that workers at the site wear respiratory protection, and that workers comply with de-contamination procedures to prevent them from spreading contaminants from the site to their homes, cars, and other locations. The letter stated that EPA did not have the authority to enforce compliance with non-EPA/United States Coast Guard employees and concluded by recommending that the Incident Commander adopt and enforce a site-wide Health and Safety Plan. A copy of the letter is attached as Appendix T.
