Attend the Safety Leadership Summit to get access to: What to Expect From OSHA Under A Biden Administration
OSHA was directed to develop a 2nd COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard requiring employers with more than 100 employees implement “soft” vaccine mandates and requiring them to provide paid time for employees to get vaccinated and recover from any side effects of the vaccine. This session will discuss hot topics such as which employers will be covered by the rule, who will have to pay for testing and what documentation will be required.
Speakers
Eric Conn
Chair of Conn Maciel Carey’s Workplace Safety Practice Group
Aaron Gelb
Partner in Charge of CMC’s Midwest OSHA Practice
Some Of The Burning Questions That Will Be Discussed:
What will OSHA’s new COVID-19 emergency rule require?
Which employers will be covered by the rule?
Will it be employers or employees who have to pay for weekly testing of unvaccinated workers?
How do employers count the 100 worker threshold (by establishment or company-wide, how do you count temp, part-time, and seasonal workers, does it count remote/telework staff, etc.)?
Under a work-required vaccine program, will days away for adverse effects of the vaccine have to be recorded on employers’ 300 Logs?
Does the rule account in any way for natural antibody immunity for employees who have been infected and recovered from COVID-19?
What type of test will be acceptable for the testing program?
What documentation will be required to verify vaccination and testing status, and will employers have to keep those records, as employee medical records, for the life of employment + 30 years?
How will the rule intersect with the ADA/Title VII requests for medical and religious exemptions?
