Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the proposed Legislation for Emergency Temporary Standard/Emergency Regulation dated June 12, 2020. We applaud the efforts of staff and legislators to provide proper guidance to protect Virginians from COVID-19; however, we believe clarification is necessary to prevent confusion or non-compliance with an element of the proposed regulation.
Definition section - "Lower" exposure risk hazards.
We believe business owners with good intentions will make what they view as reasonable and appropriate efforts to comply with the intent of this section of the regulation that may differ from the opinion of an inspecting authority or our clients. Clarification will assist greatly.
Thank you again for your efforts to protect the public and the opportunity to comment.
