IV.C. COVID-19 Healthcare Emergency Temporary Standard
Presenter:
C Johnson
Description:
The U.S. Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has issued an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to protect healthcare workers from contracting coronavirus. The standard focuses on healthcare workers most likely to have contact with someone infected with the virus. OSHA announced the new standard alongside new general industry guidance, both of which are aligned with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance. The ETS establishes new requirements for settings where employees provide healthcare or health care support services, including schools. OSHA will update the standard, if necessary, to align with CDC guidelines and changes in the pandemic. |

During the 2020-21 school year, Pathways served grade 7 at RWHS.
