In order to restart Maine's economy safely, employers will need to create, implement and enforce new policies, practices and perhaps even workplace modifications to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19. How, exactly, should they do this?

Join the Portland Regional Chamber, Pierce Atwood and MEMIC to learn how to create an OSHA-compliant plan that protects your employees. Attendees will learn:

•Why it’s vital to have an Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response Plan based on OSHA guidance.

•What the important elements of that plan are, and how those elements work with other guidelines (such as from the CDC and state reopening orders) to form the the plan's foundation.

•How to create a customized OSHA-compliant plan for your workplace that will keep employees, customers, and others safe while allowing them to adapt to changing rules and risks in the weeks and months ahead.

A brief Q&A will follow via YouTube chat. This webinar will be recorded and a replay will be made available.
