Overview:
Employers, Professionals,
Attorneys, and employees were waiting with anticipation for OSHA to provide the
Emergency Temporary Standard after the President mandated vaccines in the

Why Should You Attend:
It is critical for Employers and professionals to ensure understanding of all the moving parts in this mandate. After reading the entire OSHA rule, it is clear that there are many factors that are confusing, unclear, inconsistent and a challenge to follow. A few of the items that are new:
· Effective dates are
consistent across all the mandates ordered by the President
· Employees that work remotely do not have to get vaccinated
· Boosters are not required as part of the ETS
· Employees who conduct self-testing, results will not be accepted without a proctor
· The OSHA Rule will not conflict with the other mandates
· Copies of the vaccine status is required
There is a plethora of
other elements of the ETS with many website pages and resources. This training
will breakdown the ETS so Employers and professionals can understand the
process, develop an effective policy, ensure compliance, and answer specific
questions. This is a critical training that Employers and Professionals must
attend to prepare for the January 4, 2022, deadline.
