OSHA Has Withdrawn Its COVID ETS |
|
The U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has withdrawn the vaccination and testing emergency temporary standard issued on Nov. 5, 2021, to protect unvaccinated employees of large employers with 100 or more employees from workplace exposure to coronavirus. Although OSHA is withdrawing the vaccination and testing ETS as an enforceable emergency temporary standard, the agency is not withdrawing the ETS as a proposed rule. OSHA strongly encourages vaccination of workers against the continuing dangers posed by COVID-19 in the workplace. Read more at COVID-19 Healthcare ETS or on Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19).
