Updated Federal Testing & Vaccination Requirements

​

Click Here for the January 13th Statement from Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh on Supreme Court ruling
on OSHA emergency temporary standard on vaccination and testing. 

​

The proposed Federal ETS, currently halted by the Supreme Court, would require employers to do the following:

​

  • Determine the vaccination status of each employee, obtain acceptable proof of vaccination status from vaccinated employees and maintain records and a roster of each employee's vaccination status.

​

  • Require employees to provide prompt notice when they test positive for COVID-19 or receive a COVID-19 diagnosis. Employers must then remove the employee from the workplace, regardless of vaccination status; employers must not allow them to return to work until they meet required criteria.

​

  • Ensure each worker who is not fully vaccinated is tested for COVID-19 at least weekly (if the worker is in the workplace at least once a week) or within 7 days before returning to work (if the worker is away from the workplace for a week or longer).

​

  • Ensure that, in most circumstances, each employee who has not been fully vaccinated wears a face covering when indoors or when occupying a vehicle with another person for work purposes.
