- Prepare to implement basic infection prevention measures
- Develop policies and procedures for prompt identification and isolation of sick people
- Develop, implement, and communicate about workplace flexibilities and protections
- Implement workplace controls to isolate employees from work related hazards
- Follow existing OSHA standards
The agency’s recently released publication Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19 will help affected employers understand how the virus could impact their workplaces and develop proper infectious disease preparedness and response plans.
