Fact Sheet: OSHA Emergency Temporary Standard Proposals

The Biden Administration recently released a series of Executive Orders (EOs) related to the COVID-19 pandemic. One EO includes provisions for the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to consider whether an Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS), including with respect to mask wearing, is necessary, and, if so, to issue an ETS by March 15. Proposals to include a congressional requirement for OSHA to promulgate an ETS also are being considered as part of negotiations on the next COVID-19 relief package.
