Cal/OSHA Standards Board Readopts Revised COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards
On June 3, 2021, The Cal/OSHA Standards Board readopted Cal/OSHA’s revised COVID-19 prevention emergency temporary standards.
The changes adopted by the Board phase out physical distancing and make other adjustments to better align with the state’s June 15 goal to retire the “Blueprint for a Safer Economy”. The changes are expected to go into effect no later than June 15 if approved by the Office of Administrative Law in the next 10 calendar days.
