COVID-19 Training
COVID-19 training must be provided during working hours at no cost to employees and presented in the employees’ language and literacy level.
Be aware that your state and local jurisdiction may also have industry specific requirements as well as additional requirements beyond training.
In states where training is not explicitly required, employers should consider providing COVID-19 workplace safety training consistent with guidelines from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
