White House updates ‘Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce’ list to encompass full plumbing supply chain
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) updated its “Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce” advisory list to more accurately define the plumbing and mechanical industry, a list that now includes language for which IAPMO advocated.
“Workers who support the supply chain of building materials from production through application/installation, including cabinetry, fixtures, doors, cement, hardware, plumbing, electrical, heating/cooling, refrigeration, appliances, paint/coatings and employees who provide services that enable repair materials and equipment for essential functions” have been added to the list, which may be read at: www.iapmo.org/media/23610/dhs_critical_workforce_20.pdf.
