According to Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standards, employers are required to "Establish, implement, and maintain an effective written COVID-19 Prevention Program".
This plan should include:
1. Identifying and evaluating employee exposures to COVID-19 health hazards.
2. Implementing effective policies and procedures to correct unsafe and unhealthy conditions (such as safe physical distancing, modifying the workplace and staggering work schedules).
3. Providing and ensuring workers wear face coverings to prevent exposure in the workplace.
Also, employers are to provide effective training and instruction to employees on how COVID-19 is spread, infection prevention techniques, and information regarding COVID-19-related benefits that affected employees may be entitled to under applicable federal, state, or local laws.
Below is their Model COVID Prevention Plan that is fillable. If you don't have one, use this one to ensure compliance.
