In what had been promised during the campaign, President Biden took action on his first full day in office to address COVID-19 virus transmission in the workplace. On January 21, President Biden issued an Executive Order focused on OSHA’s approach to managing the COVID-19. Executive Orders are used by presidents for a variety of purposes including directing federal agencies to take certain actions.
The Executive Order on Protecting Worker Health and Safety requires federal OSHA to take certain actions regarding its approach to issuing guidance, regulations, and enforcing existing regulations. The Executive Order contains four key actions that need to be taken:
Gary Jones

His primary responsibility is to monitor and analyze EHS regulatory activities at all domestic and some international government levels. He provides representation on behalf of the printing and specialty graphic imaging industry. In doing so, Mr. Jones works closely with the federal and state-level Environmental Protection Agencies (EPA), Occupational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA), Department of Transportation (DOT), and other agencies. He also provides membership assistance on EHS compliance and sustainability programs through a variety of approaches including responding to inquiries, presentations, writing, and consulting services.
Marcia Kinter
