NASF Offers Webinar on OSHA Regulatory Outlook and Legal Guidance
Monday, July 26, 2021 NASF will hold a webinar discussing OSHA regulatory outlook and offering legal guidance.
OSHA recently announced its regulatory priorities as part of the federal Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. The unified agenda is issued twice per year and is a compilation of short and long-term rulemaking actions planned across all agencies.
The agency also recently issued its COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) for the nation’s workplaces. The standard was narrowed to apply solely to the health-care sector, as OSHA determined that health-care workers treating COVID patients remain at risk. However, OSHA did issue revised guidance for general industry – including surface finishing – on work practices to protect both vaccinated and non-vaccinated workers consistent with CDC’s framework for COVID, which has continued to evolve.
To help the surface finishing industry navigate the OSHA regulatory agenda and also the newly revised COVID guidelines, NASF has scheduled a webinar on July 26, 2021, for its members.
More information on the OSHA regulatory agenda is available here, and the revised emergency COVID standard is available on the OSHA website at: https://www.osha.gov/coronavirus/ets. If you have questions regarding the revised COVID guidelines or would like additional information, please contact Christian Richter (crichter@thepolicygroup.com) or Jeff Hannapel (jhannapel@thepolicygroup.com) with NASF.
