Washington River Protection Solutions says it is committed to getting the number of air respirators to protect all workers in the Hanford Tank Farm.

65 workers were sent home due to a lack of respirators, but Rob Roxburg with Washington River Protection Solutions says it it is a work site adjustment, and not a work stoppage.

HAMTAC ordered work to stop unless workers have respirators. WRSP has assured the contractor that those employees with respirators will only be allowed to work at the site.
