Description
Workplace Safety for Employees is Required by the Law. There are no “Covid-19 Exceptions.”
Both Federal and State laws require that employers provide their employees with a safe workplace. That may take the form of an environment free from danger to health and life, equipment to limit work-related risks, protective clothing, and arrangements that promote health and safety from danger. Since the Covid-19 virus presents us with new safety challenges, it requires that employers take new, never-before safety steps to protect their employees.
Thus, it may be wise that you ask your employer – in writing – what steps are being taken to protect you and your colleagues. The information you may learn – or that might be denied you – may form the factual basis for requesting an accommodation or modification, or leverage to negotiate an amicable departure in case you are denied them.
