LeadingAge Letter to OSHA Requesting Delay on ETS Compliance

LeadingAge Letter to OSHA Requesting Delay on ETS Compliance

On July 2, LeadingAge sent a letter to OSHA requesting a six-month delay on the compliance dates of the Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS) for healthcare settings.  The letter also requests an additional 30 days in which to file comments on the ETS. Employers must comply with most provisions by July 6th, and with provisions involving physical barriers, ventilation, and training by July 21st. LeadingAge has a virtual update on the OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard for healthcare settings live on its Learning Hub. The virtual update is free for LeadingAge members. OSHA has created many tools on its resources page to assist employers in compliance. Read the letter here.
