In this episode, Scott Hecker, Senior Counsel in the Labor &
Employment department of Seyfarth's Washington, DC office, and
Adam Young, Partner in the Labor & Employment department of
Seyfarth's Chicago office, discuss workplace safety issues
surrounding vaccine mandates.
Adam and Scott explore the potential impacts of a fully-approved
COVID-19 vaccine, and how employers, including the federal
government, are approaching vaccine requirements. Beyond vaccines,
Adam and Scott lay out additional risk mitigation protocols
employers can consider to limit OSHA enforcement risks, including
in the healthcare sector (which is subject to OSHA's COVID-19
emergency temporary standard) and under OSHA's COVID-19
national emphasis program.
