On Nov. 19, 2020, the California Occupational Health & Safety Standards Board unanimously adopted 21 pages of emergency Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) safety regulations (Regulations). The Regulations are broad. They apply to all employees and places of employment except: (1) those places of employment with one employee who does not have contact with others; (2) employees working from home; and (3) employees covered by Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations, Section 5199 (e.g., health care facilities, facilities designed to receive persons arriving from a scene of hazardous substances, police services, public health services, labs reasonably anticipated to contain aerosol transmissible pathogens, and any other facility determined by OSHA to require the standards in Section 5199).

If adopted as written, the Regulations will require several new mandates, which are briefly summarized in this GT Alert.
