Roofing contractors, among most other industries, do not need to comply with new workplace rules released by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to protect workers from COVID-19.
On June 10, OSHA published an emergency temporary standard (ETS) that aims to protect workers from contracting the coronavirus. However, the rules only apply to health care workers, a change from early reports that indicated the new standard would apply to various industries, including construction.
