Abstract
Workplace safety for essential workers raises considerable legal and ethical questions during this pandemic. Guest Emily Spieler will discuss how employment and labor laws, including the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s approach to the pandemic, are (and are not) protecting the safety of these critical but vulnerable workers, and what legal avenues exist to ensure safety for these workers and others as we move toward reopening of additional workplaces.
Description
The COVID-19 Law and Policy Briefings, hosted in two series from March 2020 through July 2021, feature US and international public health law experts discussing the biggest legal issues arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. The briefings are produced by the George Consortium, co-sponsored by the Center for Health Policy and Law at Northeastern University School of Law, the Center for Public Health Law Research at Temple University Beasley School of Law, and the APHA Law Section. Visit Public Health Law Watch (http://bit.ly/COVIDLawBriefing) to watch episodes. All past briefings are also archived by The Week in Health Law podcast.
