OSHA's General Duty Clause mandates all businesses to provide for a safe workplace for all employees; therefore, it is my opinion that it is not necessary to impose further mandates that in this case are vague and cumbersome. Prior to the passage of the temporary guidelines at the onset of the Pandemic, VA businesses were working hard at this and not because it is a mandate, but because we care about our employees, customers, and communities.
Thank you.
