OSHA vaccine mandate will protect workers, help economy: Labor Secretary Marty Walsh
Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: Labor Secretary Marty Walsh told Fox News Thursday that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration COVID-19 vaccine rule introduced Thursday will ensure "safe and healthy workplaces for millions of Americans."
Employers with more than 100 employees must ensure that all their workers are either fully vaccinated by Jan. 4 or subject to weekly testing and mask wearing. Fully vaccinated means that the employee has received two doses of Moderna or Pfizer-BioNTech's shots, or one dose of Johnson & Johnson's shot.
"The unmitigated spread of coronavirus in the workplace presents a grave danger of illness or death to unvaccinated workers," Walsh told Fox News. "This rule is well within OSHA’s authority under the OSH Act, and consistent with OSHA’s requirements to protect workers."
Senior administration officials said OSHA will also assist employers in developing their vaccine and testing standards.
