COVID-19 in Healthcare Environments (OSHA’s Emergency Temporary Standard)

Although the coronavirus known as COVID-19 surfaced in the US in early 2020, it feels like we've been living with it forever. COVID-19 is a serious disease and healthcare workers are one of the groups that have the highest risk of infection. As a result, OSHA has created an Emergency Temporary Standard, ETS, for healthcare facilities. This program discusses the requirements of the standard and how you can guard against infection. Topics include Having a COVID-19 plan Precautions to take Vaccination and testing Hand washing Social distancing What to do when you think you are becoming sick How to return to work during the pandemic
