OSHA is increasing in-person inspections at all types of workplaces. In geographic areas with sustained elevated community transmission or a resurgence, OSHA will prioritize on-site inspections for high-risk workplaces, such as health care providers treating patients with COVID-19.
OSHA is also revising its previous enforcement policy for recording cases of COVID-19. Under OSHA’s record keeping requirements, COVID-19 is a recordable illness. Employers are responsible for recording cases of COVID-19 if the case:
- Is confirmed as a COVID-19 illness
- Is work-related
- Involves one or more of the general recording criteria such as medical treatment beyond first aid or days away from work.
