New DOLI Emergency Regulation & Its Impact on Virginia Businesses

The Safety and Health Codes Board of the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry has developed a new emergency regulation, as directed by Governor Northam, that creates additional requirements for Virginia employers related to workplace safety due to COVID-19. The Board was also tasked with considering public comments that were offered during the brief 10-day window.

Over 3,300 comments were submitted to the Board for consideration. Over the last three weeks, the Board has met several times to discuss the proposed regulation, review the public comments, and develop necessary amendments. On July 15, these discussions concluded, and the Board submitted the final emergency regulation for implementation.
