What home-based care providers need to know about the new OSHA COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard

Written by Sharon Harder, President, C3 Advisors, LLC and Robert Markette Jr., CHC, HCS-C, Attorney, Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman, PC

On Thursday, June 17, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) issued a new Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) with precautions and employer obligations that affect everyone who provides healthcare services. Agencies providing healthcare services in a patient’s home must be in compliance with the majority of these new rules beginning on July 5, 2021, though agencies will have until July 21, 2021 to implement some of the more complex requirements imposed by the ETS.

Renowned healthcare consultant Sharon Harder, president of C3 Advisors, LLC and lead writer of the WellSky COVID-19 Briefing, and healthcare attorney Robert Markette Jr. of Hall, Render, Killian, Heath & Lyman, PC, have distilled the long and complex Emergency Temporary Standard into an exclusive tip sheet of the most important points.

Read this crucial tip sheet to understand:

  • The four components of the ETS: healthcare provisions, the Mini Respiratory Protection Program, severability provisions, and Incorporation by Reference
  • ETS implementation, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements
  • Regulations around daily screening, paid leave, and anti-retaliation
  • Mandatory COVID-19 employee training
  • The breakdown of provisions that must be in place by July 5 and those that must be in place by July 21

This important tip sheet will help you and your team understand the requirements and ensure that you close any necessary compliance gaps as soon as possible.
