What it required

Documented the operation of the rapid-response program under which every reported workplace case triggered a State response (notification, testing direction, cleaning and exclusion of close contacts under the COVID-Safe Practices) across every industry, at 164 to 215 responses per week by July 2020, before the four-hour reporting rule of Aug. 5, 2020 and the four-response closure rule of Oct. 23, 2020. Character as recorded: enforcement_record (agency program report; covid_workplace_rule layer).

Retrieval note

Recorded as the agency's report of the program's operation, not as a rule; the reporting duty is 11.5.1.16(C) NMAC (Ex. AGY-ST-LABOR-WORKPLACE-066) and the closure consequence is Ex. NM-036 para. 15. The chart figures are read from the PDF's text layer.
