What to expect in occupational health and safety standards post-COVID19

Image source: cmo-whisperer.com COVID-19 has changed the way people have been living their lives. Experts are being more comfortable with the idea that everyone will be living with the threat of the virus for the long haul. Because of this, Michael Saltzstein reminds us all that this is not the first time the world has had to co-exist with a health threat. Furthermore, people can expect some trends to develop in occupational health and safety standards following this pandemic. To begin with, companies may generally take on a hybrid approach to employee attendance. Before the pandemic, workers were required to report to the office and spend a fixed time doing work in the confines of a common space. Now, people have been forced to stay at home and use the internet to connect to one another. Chances are, this practice will be made into a more regular aspect of business operations, to keep the number of employees present in the office to a minimum, mentions Michael Saltzstein.
