OSHA Withdraws Vaccine-or-Test ETS
Answered by the HR Experts
OSHA is still proceeding with a permanent COVID standard via the regular (slower) rulemaking process, and that standard will have similar requirements if finalized. We will let you know if and when that happens. We expect a permanent rule would likely run into many of the same legal hurdles as the ETS.
Employers should continue to comply with all other federal, state, and local requirements.
If you’re in a state with an OSHA State Plan, you should check with your state agency for state OSHA requirements.
