Tuesday, July 13, 2021
2:00pm-3:30pm Webinar
Webinar Description:
For the first time in 50 years the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) released Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS) to address exposure to COVID-19 to workers in health care settings. Although temporary, the standard will be enforced effective July 6, 2021, and fully enforced on July 21, 2021. The standard mandates that all applicable healthcare facilities have a COVID-19 Plan that includes items such as a COVID-19 Safety Coordinator and a workplace specific hazard assessment.
