Protestors Outside of Cal-OSHA Fight for Consistency in Mask Guidelines
More than 40 Orange County, Calif. residents frustrated with the uncertainty of mask guidelines protested June 10 outside of the a regional Occupational Safety and Health (Cal-OSHA) in Santa Ana.
The previous day, on June 9, the agency’s board reversed a previously-made decision requiring all California workers to wear masks indoors, unless all people are vaccinated and not showing symptoms of the CCP virus.
The proposed rules also scrap physical distancing requirements if employers make N-95 respirator masks available to non-vaccinated workers.
Cal-OSHA’s proposal was met with criticism due to its conflicting stance with state and CDC masking regulations. Its June 9 special meeting was held to reverse their decision. However, the board will revisit the issue during a future meeting.
