The U.S. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) released its COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS). The ETS requires employers with 100 or more employees to get their employees vaccinated by Jan. 4, 2022, or require unvaccinated employees to produce a negative test on at least a weekly basis.
In addition to requirements for vaccination or negative weekly tests for the unvaccinated, the ETS also requires:

• Companies to pay employees for the time it takes to get vaccinated
• Employers must ensure all unvaccinated employees are masked
• Employers are subject to requirements for reporting and record keeping
• Specific compliance dates

Kevin Schwalb, TRSA Vice President, Government Relations will explain and clarify the regulation and steps for compliance and how it impacts the linen, uniform and facility services industry.
There will be an opportunity for submitted questions at the end of the webinar.
