Face Masks
General Requirements
Your employer must allow you to wear a face covering in the workplace even if it is not required.
Definitions
Face covering means a cloth, polypropylene, paper, or other covering that covers the nose and the mouth and that rests snugly above the nose, below the mouth, and on the sides of the face. Coverings that incorporate a valve that is designed to facilitate easy exhalation or mesh masks or other covers with openings, holes, visible gaps in the design or material, or vents are not appropriate face coverings because they allow droplets to be released from the covering.
