Employers throughout California are scrambling to understand and comply with Cal/OSHA's sweeping new COVID-19 prevention rule, which was enacted on an emergency basis and went into effect on November 30. The regulation requires businesses with California employees to implement a written COVID-19 prevention plan that addresses a host of specific issues, including requirements regarding screening, testing, and training employees; providing face coverings and PPE; reporting and documenting COVID-19 outbreaks in the workplace; and excluding from the workplace—and sometimes paying—infected or exposed employees.

In upcoming webinar, our attorneys covered what California employers need to know to comply with the new rule, including:

  • Understanding the rule's requirements and how they apply to your business
  • Developing an effective written COVID-19 prevention plan
  • Investigating, responding to, and notifying employees of COVID-19 cases in the workplace
  • Employers' obligations to screen employees, ensure proper sanitation and social distancing, and provide face coverings and PPE
  • Determining whether an employee who tests positive or is quarantined is entitled to "exclusion pay"
  • Steps which must be taken when an outbreak occurs in your workplace
  • The risk of Cal/OSHA enforcement and penalties for non-compliance

Speakers:

  • Julie Capell
  • Laura Heckathorn
  • Joseph Hoag
  • Jeffrey Youmans
