The last few weeks have seen seismic shifts in the COVID-19 workplace safety landscape. Below is a state-by-state summary of some of the most important changes (and continued requirements):
CDC Updates
The CDC recently updated its face covering guidance to state that individuals should wear face coverings that (a) are made of two or more layers; (b) are made of a fabric that does not make it hard to breathe, such as vinyl; and (c) do not have exhalation valves.
The updated guidance also makes clear that effectiveness of gaiters and face shields are unknown.
OSHA Updates
OSHA also recently issued guidance on The Use of Cloth Face Coverings while Working Outdoors in Hot and Humid Conditions.
