SALT LAKE CITY – Two months have passed since a statewide mask mandate required businesses to ensure employees are wearing masks to work.
The temporary administrative rule is enforced by the Utah Occupational Safety and Health Division, which is the state s equivalent of OSHA. The rule states employers and employees must mask up at work. Not doing so can mean punitive actions. They can be fined up to $7,000, so it can be quite substantial, said UOSH spokesman Eric Olsen.
Olsen told KSL Investigators the vast majority of businesses are complying with the temporary rule.
According to court documents, there have been four instances where UOSH had to seek administrative warrants to compel certain businesses to allow them to inspect the property following a complaint about masking.
