OSHA

Has Virginia passed a law or ordinance requiring 24 hours notice to employees when a co-worker tests positive for COVID-19?

It looks like they have voted to move forward effective July 15th. This is the first rule of it’s kind and is very hard to find a permanent copy or tracker on any of the legal sites. There are several marked up copies that are linked in the articles below. The DOLI website doesn’t even have a solid copy of the order. But, there is one with July 15th as a go date. The 24 hour rule is part of this temporary order. It is supposed to last for 18 months.
