This complimentary three-part, on-demand webinar series will inform employers about new requirements from OSHA in the COVID-19 era.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the federal enforcement organization responsible for safe workplaces, has issued evolving guidance with new recordkeeping and reporting obligations. OSHA also launched hundreds of COVID-19 fatality and hospitalization investigations. The pandemic forced OSHA to pivot from traditional approaches toward personal protective equipment and infectious disease control standards to a heavier reliance on the general duty to provide a safe workplace—one protected from communicable disease spread. The dramatic rise of telework and distributed work will also challenge OSHA to create new safeguards as the pandemic changes the way America works—perhaps forever.
Epstein Becker Green has developed this series to help employers think through these issues and prepare for new safe workplace challenges.
Episode 2: OSHA COVID-19 Investigations
The second episode of this series provides a deeper dive into OSHA’s investigation processes, focusing on how the COVID-19 pandemic shifted the standard injury analysis paradigm and how best to prepare for an OSHA review.
