With the stay of the 5th Circuit in effect, OSHA has suspended all activities regarding implementation of the vaccine mandate for private businesses. Under the Emergency Testing Standard, which was published on Nov. 5, businesses employing more than 100 workers are mandated to develop and implement a mandatory vaccine policy or adopt a vaccination policy along with a testing and face covering mandate. Businesses that do not comply face significant fines – resulting in a number of challenges in federal court. These challenges have been consolidated into a pending matter before the 6th Circuit Court for a decision on whether the administration can enact such a mandate.
