Among the key developments:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>On January 21, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order which directed OSHA to evaluate whether a COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) was needed to better protect workers. As of the March 15, 2021 executive order deadline, no ETS was issued. Reportedly based on meetings between OSHA and business and labor groups an ETS is expected to be issued although no additional timelines were provided. (https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/presidential-actions\/2021\/01\/21\/executive-order-protecting-worker-health-and-safety\/)<\/li>\n<li>On January 29, 2021, OSHA published an updated COVID-19 guidance document entitled, \u201cProtecting Workers: Guidance on Mitigating and Preventing the Spread of COVID-19 in the Workplace\u201d (https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/coronavirus\/safework). This guidance document expands on the previous OSHA COVID-19 recommendations including written COVID-19 prevention plans, hazard assessments, use of barriers and\/or physical distancing, face coverings, ventilation, cleaning and disinfection and hygiene.<\/li>\n<li>On March 12, 2021 OSHA released a new COVID-19 National Emphasis Program (NEP), as part of the agency\u2019s Updated Interim Enforcement Response Plan to help ensure that employees in high hazard industries such as healthcare, food and agriculture, construction, manufacturing, energy, chemicals and transportation are protected from contracting COVID-19. (https:\/\/www.osha.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/enforcement\/directives\/DIR_2021-01_CPL-03.pdf).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Although OSHA\u2019s path forward is not entirely clear, employers should prepare for increased OSHA inspections related to COVID-19, especially in work places where employees routinely work in close contact. To adequately prepare for this increased focus, at a minimum employers should make sure they have implemented a COVID-19 prevention plan, conducted a hazard assessment to identify where and how employees could be exposed to COVID-19 at work, and trained their employees on the COVID-19 prevention plan protocols and procedures. Additional requirements may be forthcoming from OSHA, but development of a strong foundation based on a COVID-19 prevention plan will help employer\u2019s transition in the rapidly changing environment as COVID-19 continues to evolve.<\/p>\n                <\/div>\n                <div class=\"col-lg-4 columns js-animated-content animated-content\">\n
