As California community COVID transmissions decline and Governor Newsom promises to re-open the economy on June 15, 2021, the Cal/OSHA Standards Board hesitates on lifting face mask requirements in the office.
On June 3, 2021, California’s Occupational Safety & Health Standards Board (“Cal/OSHA”) updated the
Emergency Temporary Standards (ETS) that were first adopted in November 2020. This blog piece updates CDF’s recent
blog about the impact of the expected revisions for California employers. We expect that the revised ETS will become effective June 15, in conjunction with the Governor’s plan to re-open the economy.

The ETS, which Cal/OSHA originally issued in November 2020, requires employers to, among other things, offer COVID-19 testing to employees potentially exposed to COVID-19 in the workplace, to track and record COVID-19 cases, to maintain the earnings of employees excluded from work for certain COVID-19-related reasons, and to take certain actions in response to COVID-19 outbreaks.
On June 3, 2021, Cal/OSHA voted to modify the ETS to phase out some physical distancing and face covering requirements in light of COVID-19 vaccinations and the forthcoming retirement of California’s Blueprint for a Safer Economy. Most of these changes take effect on June 15, 2021, with the remainder taking effect on July 31, 2021.

And healthcare employers in particular are still required to follow the CDC’s prior guidance relating to face coverings and social distancing regardless of the employee or patient’s vaccination status.
Since the CDC’s announcement, Nevada’s Occupational Safety & Health Administration (NV OSHA) has provided enhanced guidance to employers that should be considered before implementing any no-mask policies in the workplace. Below is an overview of several considerations you should contemplate before easing workplace COVID-19 restrictions, as well as our guidance on how to begin easing workplace mask restrictions for Nevada w
