This list provides resources from the United State’s OSH agencies charged specifically with OSH issues: the National Institute for Occupational Safety (NIOSH) and Health and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). The resources include links to information on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) (NIOSH’s parent agency) and U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) (OSHA’s parent agency).

The NIOSH links provide specific information on PPE and also resources and guidance for emergency response situations.  CDC links provide a more general overview of workplace precautions to lower risk as well as a map tracking global outbreak status, cases, and latest updates. The OSHA/DOL links provide specific guidance for key at risk industries. The Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19  PDF provides specific guidance on classifying worker exposure and protection measures as well as addressing workers on international assignment. The OSHA links provides other materials available in PDF for printing and distribution. Several of these are provided in Spanish. There are also links to OSHA’s respiratory safety video and eTool.
