Board Members,
Thank you for the opportunity to comment on this Emergency Regulation. I have many concerns regarding the language of this proposed regulation and urge the board to resist the temptation to rush the process, in order to clean up many irregularities that exist in this document. Even in a time of intense concern about the spread of a dangerous virus, it must be recognized that pushing forward a half-baked regulation, that promises to confuse and disrupt the stakeholders that have made such amazing efforts to protect their employees, will be counterproductive at best.
As an employer that is committed to the safety and health of its employees, I ask that the board continue to allow employers to follow CDC, DOL and local health department guidance. The compiled information has been very helpful and with undeniable results.
Please take time to review my comments below. I hope you will understand that much more collaboration is needed as we jointly attempt to keep Virginia work sites safe and healthy.
Thank you again for reviewing may comments and feel free to contact me if there is an opportunity to collaborate.
Kindest regards,
Frank A. Trujillo
