Operative words
In areas where there is ongoing community transmission, employers other than those in the healthcare industry, emergency response organizations (e.g., emergency medical, firefighting, and law enforcement services), and correctional institutions may have difficulty making determinations about whether workers who contracted COVID-19 did so due to exposures at work.... Employers of workers in the healthcare industry, emergency response organizations... and correctional institutions must continue to make work-relatedness determinations pursuant to 29 CFR part 1904.
Enforcement
Citations under 29 C.F.R. part 1904 and 29 U.S.C. 658; enforcement discretion for non-healthcare employers absent objective evidence
Notes
Imposed a differentiated federal recordkeeping duty by industry in 2020 Q2.
