A new OSHA alert and guidance document on COVID-19 provides general practices to help prevent worker exposure to coronavirus.

Prevent Worker Exposure to Coronavirus (COVID-19)

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) recently issued an alert saying that the novel coronavirus (officially COVID-19) is believed to spread from person-to-person, primarily through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. The virus is also believed to spread by people touching a surface or object and then touching one’s mouth, nose, or possibly the eyes.
