OSHA: Permanent COVID-19 Standard Coming Soon

OSHA officials recently announced an extension of the agency’s COVID-19 national emphasis program, which focuses on hospital and skilled nursing facilities. While this announcement pertains to the health care sector, OMA Connections Partner Fisher Phillips says OSHA has indicated it will soon turn its focus to a permanent infectious disease standard directed at “high-risk industries” beyond health care. The OMA will monitor for developments that impact manufacturers. 7/7/2022
