OSHA Publishes New COVID-19 Resources

The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently published frequently asked questions and answers to guide employers operating during the pandemic. The “FAQs provide guidance to employers and employees about topics such as the best practices to prevent the spread of infection during the coronavirus pandemic, workers’ rights to express concerns about workplace conditions, testing for the coronavirus, worker training and returning to work.”

OSHA has also published a Guidance on Returning to Work which is “intended to supplement the U.S. Department of Labor and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ previously developed Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19 and the White House’s Guidelines for Opening up America Again.”

If you have questions about these resources, please contact a KZA attorney.
