March 22, 2022: OSHA: The COVID Effect Present and Future

After months of OSHA sitting on the sidelines with respect to COVID-19, President Biden put the agency front and center this fall by directing it to issue an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) mandating that all employers with 100 or more employees require vaccination of their employees. The ETS directive has come on the heel of other governmental and private initiatives concerning vaccine mandates, which leaves employers with a myriad of questions about how best to deal with the realities of running a business during the pandemic. This session will address the difficult and sometimes unanswered issues in complying with the ETS, such as record keeping obligations, determining the applicability of religious and medical exemptions, and navigating conflicting state and local laws. We will also take a look at best practices and lessons learned by employers during this period and any enforcement efforts by OSHA. Finally, we will explore what OSHA may do (or not do) in regard to promulgating a permanent regulation addressing employee vaccinations.

We look forward to having you join us for this premier event.
