All Paid Workers Deserve Reasonably Safe and Healthy Conditions- For Benefit of Us All
 

Yes, it is urgent for all helping and aboard the Safety and Health Codes Board to promptly review, enhance as needed and approve the Emergency Temporary Standard/Emergency Regulation 16 VAC 25-220.    

During this *long-lasting PANDEMIC, and during our *new-normal future, workers across the Commonwealth need reasonable and enforceable protections for their own health and productivity plus the health and wealth of their families and greater neighborhoods.         

Consider: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"; my parents stressed this was a bedrock of our Colony, then State, being a "Commonwealth", per our Founding Fathers.   

Yes, please pass the standards on June 24, 2020 (or soon thereafter).  Focus attention and practical steps toward protecting the health of workers, their immediate families and the nearby public.  WHY? For the Benefit of us All; for our collective future Health and Wealth.

 Thank you for your consideration,
