A. No special training or certification is needed, but please do remember the following CDC guidelines: The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) gave employers the green light to take employees' temperatures to try and ward off the spread of the coronavirus in guidance from earlier this year. "Generally, measuring an employee's body temperature is a medical examination," the EEOC stated. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) prohibits medical examinations unless they are job-related and consistent with business necessity. However, because the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and state and local health authorities have acknowledged community spread of COVID-19, the respiratory illness caused by the coronavirus, and have issued related precautions, "employers may measure employees' body temperature. Thermal imaging cameras are designed to provide accurate thermal recordings based on heat signatures. They translate thermal radiation, which is normally not visible to the naked eye, into visual images with different colors indicating heat levels. For example, dark red stands for abnormally high temperatures, whereas blue shades indicate cooler temperatures. Therefore, the thermal imaging results are fairly simple to read and anyone can be given some basic training to use these devices and can identify normal from abnormal temperatures.
