Managing Risks Post Covid

Risk assessment and Remediation Plan-
it's mandatory

The green light to reopen your business doesn’t mean the risks are over. It doesn’t mean that COVID-19 cases are not going to be tracked, traced, reported, investigated for months to come. No business will know the full impacts of COVID-19 until they open.  

Before conducting a risk assessment, it’s vital that you read and fully understand the newest rules published by OSHA, CDC, state, city, and local agencies.

CDC, Governor Inslee, OSHA have hundreds of documents available with tips, requirements, recommendations, and training on COVID-19. Some of their links are listed here:
