“The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued new guidance relating to recommended precautions for people who are fully vaccinated, which is applicable to activities outside of healthcare and a few other environments. OSHA is reviewing the recent CDC guidance and will update our materials on this website accordingly. Until those updates are complete, please refer to the CDC guidance for information on measures appropriate to protect fully vaccinated workers.”
As always, OSHA will continue to use the General Duty Clause and look to its current COVID-19 guidance to determine whether hazards are “recognized” and whether employers’ health precautions are sufficient to abate the hazards. Further Information Cornerstone’s Health and Safety department has developed a program for industrial facilities to reduce workers’ exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace.
