Emergency Temporary Standards - Make Permanent
 

I join with the Virginia AFL-CIO to urge that Emergency Temporary Standards be made permanent:

The ETS is a strong standard and should be made permanent

  • The standard is effective when employers implement the protections
  • Standard is based off scientific information, long-standing occupational H&S practices, and health & safety recommendations
  • Key components are based off current OSHA standards and familiar to employers and workers
  • Face coverings are clearly defined and help control the spread of droplet transmission

Thank you.
