AICC advocacy partner Small Business Legislative Council (SBLC) reports that on October 12, 2021, the Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) submitted its draft Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) on private employer vaccine requirements to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
The ETS is in response to President Biden’s September 9 directive that OSHA develop a standard to require that private employers with 100 or more employees “ensure their workforce is fully vaccinated or require any workers who remain unvaccinated to produce a negative test result on at least a weekly basis before coming to work.”
OMB’s review is the final step that must occur before OSHA can put the new standard into effect. The President has directed OMB to expedite its review of ETS. Accordingly, we anticipate that the ETS will be released very soon.
Once the ETS is released, the SBLC will review it and AICC will provide information for you our members.
