Last Friday, August 13, OSHA issued updated guidance based on the CDC’s new recommendations.

This guidance recommends stronger workplace COVID protocols, including increased masking for all employees regardless of vaccination status and encourages vaccination for all employees. It also recommends physical distancing and other COVID prevention and reporting methods most businesses already have in place. At this time, the OSHA recommendations are guidance only and are not mandatory.
