Nov 1, 2021

On Friday, October 29 the RV Industry Association Workplace Safety Taskforce invited members to participate in a virtual seminar and round table discussion featuring Anthony N. Harris, MD, MBA, MPH. The seminar addressed COVID-19 vaccine tracking, best practices for COVID-19 testing compliance, and strategies for determining level of investment for compliance and worker protection. The seminar is particularly timely with the announcement that the emergency temporary standard (ETS) could be coming this week.

The Department of Labor on Monday said that the Biden administration's vaccinate mandate for businesses, which is being developed by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), will be published soon.

“On November 1, the Office of Management and Budget completed its regulatory review of the emergency temporary standard. The Federal Register will publish the emergency temporary standard in the coming days,” a Department of Labor spokesperson said in a statement.

OSHA has been crafting an emergency temporary standard (ETS) to enact the mandate, which requires that all companies with at least 100 employees require vaccines or weekly testing for employees. Biden announced the sweeping vaccine-or-test mandate in September.
