AHCA/NCAL: COVID-19 Update – OSHA to Release ETS on Vaccine Mandate
OSHA to Release ETS on Vaccine Mandate
Last week, President Biden released his COVID-19 Action Plan, including mandates for COVID-19 vaccines and/or testing for employees working for employers that have 100 or more employees. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) will release an Emergency Temporary Standard in the next 2-8 weeks for this mandate. OSHA will release an FAQ prior to issuing the ETS including how OSHA will calculate 100 employees (per building, organization, etc).
