Permanent Standard for Infectious Disease Prevention
 

Members of the Safety and Health Code Board,

As a Director of Safety in the heavy construction industry, I strongly oppose a "Permanent" Standard for Infectious Disease Prevention;Sars-CoV-2 Virus that causes COVID-19.  The current proposed standard has no specified end date and is based on the temporary standard.  This standard is not only taxing and a burden for cost to smaller businesses, but also can cause a greater hazard to working conditions in the summer when our product is already 350 degrees.  I'm strongly opposed to the current standard with no expiration for what seems to be more than likely a temporary health situation with the forecast of a vaccine.  I remain and will always look out for the Safety and wellbeing of my employees, and thank you for listening.
