OSHA has issued guidelines on how to prepare workplaces for Covid-19 outbreaks. Most employers can protect workers by emphasizing basic infection prevention measures: handwashing, encouraging sick/exposed workers to stay home, encouraging mouth covering when coughing or sneezing, providing tissues and trash receptacles, and maintaining regular disinfecting and cleaning practices of all surfaces and equipment. (OSHA Guidelines, p. 8-9.) Workers who show signs of infection should be isolated or required to stay home. (Id., p. 10.) Workers who can work from home should. All workers should keep a six-foot distance from other employees. You are not required to provide safety masks or respirators to employees unless they are working directly with Covid-19 patients or those exposed to Covid-19. But, you may want to consider allowing employees to wear their own protective equipment to make them feel safer.
