OSHA Alert: Prevent Farmworker Exposure to COVID-19 in Employer-Provided Vehicles

Time spent with others in passenger vehicles may increase the risk of exposure to COVID-19. Take the following steps to prevent the spread of COVID-19 when workers are being transported to and from worksites using employer-provided vehicles.

  • Screen passengers for symptoms of COVID-19 before boarding.
  • Limit the number of people in a vehicle by using multiple vehicles or by taking multiple trips to facilitate physical distancing.
  • Instruct passengers to sit as far apart as possible; avoid seating more than two people per row unless they are from the same household or cohort.
