National Emphasis Program — COVID-19
OSHA
In response to the January 21, 2021 Executive Order on Protecting Worker Health and Safety, OSHA has issued a COVID-19 National Emphasis Program (NEP) to ensure that employees in high hazard industries or work tasks are protected from COVID-19 hazards. Healthcare is listed as the primary area of emphasis but the construction of homes (builders and remodelers) and trade contractors are listed as secondary areas of emphasis. Remodelers should note that 1) It is possible that OSHA might be making visits to your sites to ensure compliance with COVID-guidelines, and 2) This program applies to all companies, even those with less than 10 employees.
