Covid19 - Protecting Workers(Registration Closed)

*class cancelled*
OSHA Guidance on Mitigating and Preventing the Spread of Covid-19 in the workplace

It has been a year since the nation went into quarantine in an attempt to control the spread of the coronavirus. Businesses shuttered and implemented stay at home orders, with many employees working from home. Businesses have slowly emerged from the quarantine but are still being cautious in bringing employees back at 100 %.

This training will cover the OSHA recommendations for implementing a program that addresses the lingering healthcare issues, while establishing procedures that will assist with bringing more employees back into workplace.

We will address:

  • Conducting a hazard assessment.
  • Identifying control measures to limit the spread of the virus.
  • Adopting policies for employee absences that don’t punish workers as a way to encourage potentially infected workers to remain home.
  • Implementing protections from retaliation for workers who raise coronavirus-related concerns.
