OSHA complaints and investigations have increased in previous months due in large part to employee concerns regarding workplace safety during COVID-19. Employers that did not previously worry about OSHA inspections should now be paying closer attention to workplace safety obligations. While employers may be familiar with some of the current workplace safety issues, it is important to be aware of the federal and state-specific requirements.

During this presentation, we covered:

  • OSHA issues implicated by COVID-19 protocols   
    • General duty clause
    • Written obligations
    • Respirator requirements
    • Hazardous communication
    • Recording and reporting
  • Workplace COVID-19 safety plans
    • Masks
    • Social distancing
    • Hygiene and sanitation
    • Screening
    • Contact tracing
    • Communication with employees
  • Quarantine and isolation rules
  • Retaliation
  • Testing and vaccine issues

Speakers:

  • Joseph Hoag, Counsel, Seattle
  • Michael Killeen, Partner, Seattle
  • Jeffrey Youmans, Partner, Seattle

(On-demand versions are not eligible for CLE credit.)
