Employers with greater than 100 employees will need to understand what is required to comply with the OSHA Vaccination and Testing ETS and which employees are subject to these mandates.
To further complicate matters, the OSHA Healthcare ETS was due to expire on Dec. 21, 2021. It is unclear what OSHA intends for that ETS going forward.
Although opponents of the OSHA vaccine and testing mandate plan to proceeded to the United States Supreme Court, employers should be prepared to comply with the requirements by the revise compliance dates.
Presently, there is no change in the injunction on CMS’s rule for a vaccine mandate. CMS issued a suspension on enforcement of its vaccine mandate that is still in place.
OSHA has several tools and resources on their Vaccination and Testing ETS which includes; fact sheets, policy templates and an extensive FAQ document.
