OSHA Issues New COVID-19 National
Emphasis, Interim Enforcement Response Plans
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) issued two new documents in March 2021 concerning COVID-19 and workplace enforcement. The first is a COVID-19 National Emphasis Program (NEP) focusing OSHA enforcement efforts on companies with the largest number of workers at serious risk of contracting the coronavirus.
OSHA has also updated its Interim Enforcement Response Plan to prioritize using on-site workplace inspections where practical or a combination of on-site and remote methods. Prior enforcement guidance is rescinded, and the new guidance remains in effect until further notice.

ABOUT THE COVER PHOTO...
Riis Park at 6100 W. Fullerton Avenue encompasses some 57 acres and offers something for everyone - from children to adults, individuals and families to community groups - indoors, or outdoors, and all seasons.
Named after Jacob A. Riis, a photo-journalist and reformer who drew national attention to the plight of the inner-city poor through his expose, " How the Other Half Lives" in the 1890s. Riis advocated the creation of small playgrounds to provide "breathing spaces" for densely populated urban neighborhoods.
