Support for Permanent Standards
 

The continuation of this standard set in July 2020 should continue. If there was reason to establish this in the middle of 2020, it makes sense to continue it now. Whether they are considered low or medium risk, workers need these extra protections. If it is costly for the employer to follow this standard, then the state should provide support. Our communities should not suffer from the lack of state support. Healthy workplaces equal healthy communities and Virginia can continue to set precedence for other states to follow. There is a reason we have been able to somewhat mitigate the spread of the virus. Please listen to your biggest stakeholders, Virginia’s workforce.
