COVID-19 Prevention for Employers: How to Keep a Safe Workplace

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has changed the way workers work. No matter the industry or type of job, most workers have at least some exposure from coworkers, customers, or the general public. The virus poses serious hazards—employers have a responsibility to protect workers by assessing risk and implementing safeguards, which in turn decreases liability from OSHA citations, workers' compensation claims, and potential lawsuits.
