BRIDGEPORT, PA - DECEMBER 20, 2021 - On Friday, December 17, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals lifted an appellate court's stay of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA) requirement that employers require vaccination or weekly testing and face coverings as part of a comprehensive COVID-19 mitigation strategy.

The mandate requires all US businesses with 100 or more employees to "develop, implement, and enforce" mandatory COVID-19 vaccination policies. These policies require that unvaccinated employees undergo weekly testing and wear face coverings.

Jay Berkowitz, SUNLINE’s CEO and a Collingswood NJ resident, explains "since the beginning of the pandemic, SUNLINE has focused on helping thousands of corporations, government agencies, and small businesses implement workplace COVID safety measures and create healthier offices and working environments. We can help companies determine their testing needs, train them and help them create sustainable reporting practices."

With the January 4 deadline approaching quickly, companies will be scrambling to find test kits and reporting options. SUNLINE has millions of rapid antigen tests kits and masks available immediately and offers a monitoring program that provides virtual proctoring and secure record-keeping practices.

Circuit Judge Jane B. Stranch wrote, "fundamentally, the [rule] is an important step in curtailing the transmission of a deadly virus that has killed over 800,000 people in the United States, brought our healthcare system to its knees, forced businesses to shut down for months on end, and cost hundreds of thousands of workers their jobs."

Berkowitz notes that "OSHA estimates that the vaccine-or-test mandate could save over 6,500 lives and prevent a quarter million hospitalizations in the next six months. We feel privileged to provide the means and knowledge to help keep employees safe and business stay open."

SUNLINE Supply, a division of Arnold's Office Furniture, is a Bridgeport, PA-based family-owned company, helps businesses to equip employees with high-quality health and safety supplies and barrier-promoting functional office furniture to help prevent the spread of germs at the workplace.

Each of the company's products are FDA-Certified or EUA-Authorized and are produced by fully vetted partner manufacturers to meet CDC recommendations. The company's dedicated team of more than 50 employees works around the clock to deliver high-quality safety supplies such as disposable gloves, masks and testing kits.
