Cal/OSHA Reschedules COVID-19 Emergency Standard Revisions Vote

Friday, May 21, 2021 On May 20, 2021, the Occupational Safety & Health Standards Board of California’s Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) decided to table the expected vote on Cal/OSHA’s revisions to its COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS). Instead, the Standards Board requested that Cal/OSHA draft a new proposed regulation for the Standard Board’s consideration during a special June 3, 2021, meeting. Cal/OSHA had drafted and published a proposed revision to the COVID-19 ETS, and the Standards Board planned to vote on the revision on May 20, 2021. At the last minute, however, on May 19, 2021, Cal/OSHA requested that the Standards Board not vote on the proposal. Instead of voting on the proposed revision during its May 20, 2021, meeting, the Standards Board heard public comment about the issues for more than three hours.
