      Executive Order!!!!

      We all know it doesn’t matter which side of the political isle you are on, when a new president takes office, changes happen. On January 21, 2021, newly sworn in President Joe Biden signed an Executive Order on Protecting Worker Health and Safety. The new Executive Order directs the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to:

      1. Revise guidance to employers on workplace safety during the COVID-19 pandemic with in 2 weeks of the EO.
      2. Consider an emergency temporary standard in relation to masks in the workplace and their necessity by March 15, 2021
      3. Review OSHA enforcement efforts and identify changes that will better protect workers.
      4. Create and launch a national program to focus OSHA enforcement efforts in regards to COVID-19 violations
      5. Create a multi-lingual outreach campaign.

      Eight days later, OSHA also posted new guidance for Protecting Workers covering 16 of the most effective COVID-19 prevention programs to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. As we continue to navigate these uncharted waters many states have passed their own guidance and regulations to protect workers in the absence of a Federal standard. As things continue to change, keep checking back with us as we will continue to follow the actions of the Executive Order.

      In the meantime, you can find industry leading COVID-19 trainings like:

      • Coronavirus: Guarding Against COVID-19
