Virginia Occupational Safety and Health Emergency Temporary Standard for COVID-19

The Virginia Safety and Health Codes Board passed a first-in-the-nation standard to address COVID-19 in workplaces. Virginia Occupational Safety and Health (VOSH), the state counterpart to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), will now enforce a standard that mandates — and in some instances exceeds — U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and OSHA guidance. The new standard covers most private employers in Virginia, as well as all state and local employees.
