In an interview with McKnight’s Senior Living, Micah Dickie and Patrick Dalin encourage skilled nursing facility and senior living community operators to remain vigilant to the threat COVID-19 still poses to the workplace. Micah explains that even though the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) COVID-19 focused inspection initiative has ended, long-term care providers remain under intense scrutiny. And with OSHA currently plowing ahead with its plan to issue a permanent standard aimed at COVID-19 exposure in the healthcare industry, Micah notes that “employers in this space should continue to monitor, and, where necessary, update their COVID-19 plans.”

The article references Fisher Phillips’ 4-Step Plan for Healthcare Employers as OSHA Increases Scrutiny which includes additional information on how employers can better protect their workplaces from COVID-19 hazards.
