OSHA and the Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) - November 2021

OSHA finally launched the ETS on November 5, 2021. Employers have 60 days to put their vaccine mandate in place which has been slated to start on January 4, 2022. It's the deadline for employees to get vaccinated, as that's when the weekly testing goes into effect.


Does the OSHA Rule require employers to provide paid time to employees to get vaccinated or recover from its side effects? How will the paid time off requirement be processed? What documents does the OSHA require for reporting results of the vaccine?


What are the alternatives and Reasonable Accommodations for medical, disability, and sincerely held religious belief options? What are the testing guidelines? Do Employers Need to conduct contact tracing if there is a positive result for COVID-19? Who pays for the testing in the workplace?


Join us to have your expert answer all these questions along with many more. To appreciate your participation, you'll also receive a FREE customized compliance tool to take a deeper dive to understand the ETS and how it impacts your responsibilities.

 


Why is it Important to Attend?

It is critical for Employers and professionals to ensure understanding of all the moving parts in this mandate. After reading the entire OSHA Rule, there are many factors that you may find confusing, unclear, inconsistent and to be a challenge to follow.

A few of the items that are new
-Effective dates are consistent across all the mandates ordered by the President
-Employees that work remotely do not have to get vaccinated
-Boosters are not required as part of the ETS
-Employees who conduct self-testing, results will not be accepted without a proctor 
-The OSHA Rule will not conflict with other mandates
-Copies of the vaccine status is required

There's a plethora of other elements of the ETS with many website pages and resources. Join us to breakdown the ETS, so Employers and professionals can understand the process, develop an effective policy, ensure compliance and answer specific questions. This is a critical training that Employers and Professionals must attend to prepare before the January 4, 2022 deadline knocks at your door.
