Not unexpectedly, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration officially has withdrawn the Emergency Temporary Standard calling for mandatory COVID-19 vaccination or testing by employers of over 100 employees.
If you are wondering how to keep your workplace safe, you are not alone. Although you may have been relieved to hear that the OSHA ETS and federal contractor mandates are stayed, we do not recommend abandoning all efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in your workplace.
OSHA clarified the text of the ETS will remain in place to solicit additional comments from the public so that the agency can prioritize resources to focus on finalizing a permanent COVID-19 Healthcare Standard. The final rule would be published no later than May 5, 2022.
