DFAC CLOSED FOR TESTING, CLEANUP
On Monday, Sept. 28, improperly handled insulation material was discovered at an openly accessible construction site at the Stronger Together Dining Facility on Clay Kaserne.
An air quality test was immediately ordered from a qualified, registered host-nation company and laboratory. At approximately 4 p.m. today, Sept. 30, U.S. Army Garrison Wiesbaden was informed that air samples from the site tested positive for fiberglass contamination.
Out of an abundance of caution, the DFAC has been ordered closed to allow for further testing and proper removal in accordance with host-nation regulations TRGS 521 and TRGS 524. The DFAC will remain closed until further notice.
For tonight's dinner and tomorrow's breakfast, Meal Cardholders and SAG-U personnel affected by this closure should contact their unit for reimbursement for the missed meal or to be issued an MRE.
Starting tomorrow, Oct. 1, from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., the Wiesbaden Commissary will provide sack lunches in front of the DFAC for Meal Cardholders and SAG-U personnel only.
Meal Cardholders seeking reimbursement for missed meals should contact their unit S1 or Mayor Cell.
FIBERGLASS DUST EXPOSURE INFORMATION
During DFAC construction, some fiberglass insulation dust entered the dining area. Fiberglass can cause temporary irritation if inhaled or if it contacts the eyes or skin. According to Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic, the Department of Public Health, and the Occupational Health Clinic, the risk of serious or lasting health effects is expected to be very low, based on the limited duration of exposure.
Possible temporary symptoms after exposure include coughing, throat or nasal irritation, short-term breathing irritation, itchy skin, and eye irritation.
If your symptoms persist or worsen, please contact Wiesbaden Army Health Clinic for an evaluation.
