The Society of Human Resource Management in conjunction with the National Association of Manufacturers provided a useful webcast regarding best practices in Manufacturing and Distribution amid COVID-19. This webcast is now on-demand (link below).
Here are some important insights addressed in the webcast:
-How do you maintain privacy of an exposed person yet still address the threat?
-Can employees refuse to come to work if they fear exposure? It is important to stay flexible on discipline and attendance in these matters for future liability reasons.
–Temperature checks ARE permissible according to the EEOC with asymptomatic employees but individual taking temperature readings must be in proper PPE
-OSHA has been very unclear about recordables and reportables concerning COVID-19 as there is a difficulty determining if its work-related (how do you know if they contracted it at work?). Stay tuned for updates from OSHA
