This webinar is closed to new enrollments. For more health center trainings, click here.


Duration: 60 minutes
Recorded on: 8/11/2021

As of July 21, 2021, covered healthcare employers, including health centers, are required to comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)’s Occupational Exposure to COVID-19: Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS).  The ETS requires covered healthcare employers to implement a multi-layered approach to controlling exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace, including patient and employee screening and management, providing personal protective equipment (PPE), implementing physical distancing and barriers, and supporting vaccination by providing reasonable time and paid leave.  While a number of these requirements will be familiar to health centers, there is still a substantial amount of work to comply with the ETS.

This two part interactive webinar series will explore the ETS and how health centers can, if covered, come into compliance.

In this first webinar we will provide an overview of the ETS, including scope and application to health centers and conducting a workplace-specific hazard risk assessment to meet ETS requirements for patient and employee screening and management, PPE, physical distancing and barriers, and training and discuss relationship between federal and state OSHA requirements. 

Target Audience

  • Compliance Officers/Risk Managers
  • C-Suite Members, including CEOs and COOs
  • Clinic Directors
  • Human Resources Directors/Managers
  • Facilities Personnel

Learning Objectives

After this webinar, you will be able to:

  • Evaluate whether the ETS applies to your health center or whether your health center is exempt. 
  • Understand the requirements of ETS. 
  • Discuss the intersection of the ETS and state OSHA requirements. 
  • Understand the possible ramifications of noncompliance. 
  • Discuss available resources to assist your health center in complying with the ETS.
