Best to stick to Cal/OSHA’s old rules, employers’ attorneys say
One of the easiest ways for employers to adjust to the new rules is to “keep your existing policies in place for the most part, where everybody has to wear a mask … regardless of vaccination status,” Daryl S. Landy, a partner at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP, said.
Although Cal/OSHA suggests its revised COVID-19 rules relax pandemic workplace safety standards, attorneys say the changes are so narrow that it would be easiest for employers to continue following the old rules.
The only change employers should make, some attorneys said, is to also comply with a hotly debated provision in the revised rules: Maintain a supply of N95 masks for unvaccinated employees to voluntarily wear.
