Insights
Key Highlights from OSHA’s COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard
Update: On January 25, 2022, OSHA announced it is withdrawing the vaccination-or-test emergency temporary standard. The withdrawal will be published in the Federal Register and take effect on January 26. The standard will remain in the federal register as a notice of proposed rulemaking. Expect the Department of Labor to move to dismiss pending litigation as moot. Challengers to the vaccination-or-test rule will have to voice their concerns during the notice and comment period.
