Under the Executive Order on Protecting Worker Health and Safety signed January 21, the president has directed OSHA to “consider whether any emergency temporary standards (ETS) on COVID-19, including with respect to masks in the workplace, are necessary, and if such standards are determined to be necessary, issue them by March 15, 2021.” This order also directs OSHA to work with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to develop guidance for all employers by February 4. In addition, an OSHA National Emphasis Program (NEP) will be implemented to “focus OSHA enforcement efforts related to COVID-19 on violations that put the largest number of workers at serious risk or are contrary to anti-retaliation principles.” This order is included into the Biden Administration’s National Strategy for the COVID-19 Response and Pandemic Preparedness, Biden emphasized the priority his Administration plans to place on OSHA enforcement programs during his presentation of this strategy.
