Summary on Guidance Issued by the
U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)

To help you better understand the recent guidance issued by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration and in coordination with the  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) , the U.S. Chamber has created a  summary  outlining what employers need to know about protecting their workers as they maintain or resume operations in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The summary describes OSHA's comments and addresses three of the main questions:
  1. How should employers protect their employees?
  2. Do employers have to record cases of COVID-19 on their injury logs?
  3. How will OSHA conduct enforcement related to Coronavirus?
