Healthcare: COVID 19 OSHA Emergency Standard SS14023AE (24 Min.)

Although the Coronavirus surfaced in the U.S. in early 2020, it feels like we’ve been living with it forever… in our workplaces, homes and communities as well as in the media and on the internet. The Coronavirus is a serious disease, and healthcare workers are one of the groups that have the highest risk of infection. As a result, OSHA has created an “Emergency Temporary Standard” for healthcare facilities.

Topics covered in the course include:

The COVID-19 Plan and Required Precautions
Physical Considerations and Administration
The Coronavirus, Vaccination, Testing and Tracing
Hand Washing and “Touch Discipline”
Social Distancing and “Respiratory Etiquette”
If You Think You’re Getting Sick
Returning to Work During the Pandemic
