Protecting Workers: Mitigating & Preventing COVID-19 Spread in the Workplace

In January 2021, as per President Biden’s Executive Order to protect health care workers from COVID-19 exposure, OSHA has promulgated an extensive and comprehensive standard for employers. This includes a workplace safety plan, policies and procedures, employee removal from the workplace and explicit personal protective equipment practice. Homecare and hospice care are specifically mentioned throughout this document.

Join us as we discuss how this standard intersects with other OSHA standards to create the first document with firm guidance for COVID-19.
