The Occupational Safety and Health Administration plans to increase its inspections of assisted living communities and some other types of long-term care and healthcare-related employers as it extends its revised National Emphasis Program for COVID-19 “until further notice.” The program originally was set to expire today.
The Department of Labor agency also said that it temporarily is doubling its coronavirus-related inspection goal from 5% of inspections to 10% while it works “expeditiously” to finalize a permanent coronavirus healthcare standard.
