Talk about your catch 22!!! Most small businesses and many large ones don't have the wherewithal (professional safety infrastructure) to comply with OSHA's respiratory protection program. PAPER or CLOTH MASKS don't comply because they won't pass a fit test and are essentially useless at protecting workers from airborne hazards, including COVID 19. See first two bullets in the article.
If you have a business, or are charged with this compliance issue in a larger business, and are struggling to understand how to comply, DM me. I'm a certified safety professional and have consulted with numerous organizations for over 20 years, and I may be able to help you.
Employers that don't comply with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards during the pandemic may face significant fines.
