Policy Briefings
We know 2022 is going to be filled with important policy discussions. In order to prepare for this, the California Chamber of Commerce will be hosting a series of virtual policy briefings to discuss some of the big topics we anticipate this legislative session. The briefings provide useful background and insights on the complex subjects covered.
Cal/OSHA’s COVID-19 Workplace Safety Issues and What Employers Expect Heading into 2022
(March 4, 2022) Moderated by Robert Moutrie, CalChamber Workplace Safety policy advocate.
Since the pandemic hit California in approximately March 2020, employers have invested extensive time, effort, and resources into ensuring their workplaces are safe for their employees and consumers. Now, almost two years later, California’s approach to workplace safety has evolved considerably, moving from wide shutdowns to tentative openings, and now shifting toward an endemic approach to COVID-19.
