On January 29, 2021, and in accordance with President Biden’s Executive Order on Protecting Worker Health and Safety, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued guidance focused on mitigating and preventing the spread of COVID-19 in workplaces outside of the healthcare industry. The guidance does not expressly create any new legal obligations for employers, but instead outlines OSHA’s perspective as to best practices. The guidance also reminds employers that they already have enforceable obligations under existing federal regulations, including the obligation to provide a workplace free from recognized hazards such as COVID-19.
OSHA’s guidance encourages employers to implement a COVID-19 prevention program as the most effective way to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. The guidance emphasizes employee involvement, communication and training as best practices.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (“OSHA”) kicked off the new year with a friendly reminder that covered employers must electronically submit Form 300A data for calendar.
