Description:
How can employers ensure a safe return to the workplace by preventing exposure to COVID-19? Which employees should return to work, and when? What formal policies should employers have in place to minimize potential legal liability arising out of requests for accommodation, or confirmed or suspected COVID-19 infections among employees?
This presentation will help employers learn how to create their own tailored checklists to safely navigate returning to work. Key topics that will be addressed include identifying risk exposure based on industry-specific needs; accommodating particular employees at heightened risk of contracting COVID-19; responding to employees’ refusal to work; and implementing various operational, engineering, and behavioral controls to prevent exposure to COVID-19. This presentation will also help employers determine which types of written policies and employee trainings are valuable and appropriate in order to minimize potential legal liability. In addition, employers will learn how the temporary provisions of the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) expand paid leave requirements for workers.
