In this episode, I discuss OSHA’s emergency temporary standard for businesses that engage in healthcare and healthcare support services. Specifically, I address which business must follow this standard, what are the requirements, and how businesses can follow the requirements that are outlined within the standards.
I also briefly discuss some of the other guidance that OSHA has issued for other businesses and what businesses can do to keep their employees safe.
