FLIGHT ATTENDANT CHEMICAL EXPOSURE

AFA-CWA Calls for Crewmember Protection from Chemical Exposure


AFA-CWA presented comments at a public hearing on March 31, 2010, in Pittsburgh, on proposed revisions to the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. AFA-CWA called for improved education and training for crewmembers to help prevent exposure to chemicals and to empower crewmembers to minimize the effects if chemical exposure does occur. AFA-CWA also called for rules requiring manufacturers of products like engine oils and deicing fluids to warn airlines and crewmembers of potential exposures in the aircraft cabin and related health risks. AFA-CWA is simultaneously working to extend OSHA-equivalent protections to flight attendants as our profession is currently are not covered under OSHA.

AFA Comments on Proposed Revisions



AIR QUALITY, IT'S MORE THAN DIRTY SOCKS

Your Air Health, Safety and Security committee is working on an Air Quality program for West Flight Attendants. We have been working with ASHSD National's Judith Murawski to tailor a program for West Flight Attendants. Judith is an Industrial Hygienist and Staff member, AFA-CWA National.

The purpose and scope of the Air Safety, Health and Security Committee is to interface with US Airways and the AFA National Air Safety and Health Department on matters pertaining to cabin and Flight Attendant safety and health. Section 26 of our AFA contract sets forth-specific responsibilities, which creates a binding agenda for ASH. Please take a moment to read that section.

If you ever become involved in an incident, accident, or have a safety concern, we now have a proper protocol to address these issues. AFA strongly recommends that our fellow flying partners take a proactive posture in all matters of safety and health.

If you are asked to participate in any form of diffusing or debriefing by AWA Management, FAA, or NTSB you are entitled to Union Representation during this process. We strongly recommend you exercise this right. The above parties are aware of this contractual right and they do respect it.

If you encounter an unsafe or unhealthy working condition, or have a question for ASH, please call the Union office and ask to be transferred to Mailbox 26. You may leave a voice message and a committee member will return your call as soon as possible. Please keep in mind that all committee members are line flight attendants.
