Retrieval noteThe Wayback Machine capture of June 30, 2020 (http://web.archive.org/web/20200630070429/http://www.scosha.llronline.com/coronavirus.aspx) was read and lists the same SC OSHA documents (Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19; Prevent Worker Exposure to Coronavirus; Worker Exposure Risk to COVID-19; General Requirements and Prevention Practices; Interim Guidance - N95 Respirator Use in Patient Care; Masks Versus Respirators) with the federal OSHA Guidance on Returning to Work. The live render was used because the archived page did not render to PDF. DHEC's Businesses & Employers page linked 'SC OSHA COVID-19 Worker Safety Guidance' as State guidance for businesses (Wayback capture October 11, 2020, read; not rendered).
