The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently released Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) to address exposure to COVID-19 to workers in healthcare settings. This healthcare ETS applies, with some exceptions, to settings where any employee provides healthcare services or healthcare support services. The webinar will review the ETS and the implications for skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and Intermediate Care Facilities for Individuals with Intellectual Disabilities (ICFs/IID).
