Cal/OSHA is now urging all workers to wear face coverings indoors regardless of their vaccination status. The guidance comes in response to an uptick in state COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations.

Cal/OSHA is aligning its guidance with California’s Department of Public Health, which updated its masking guidance last month in light of rising cases and plateauing vaccination rates.

While not a mandate, employers must continue to provide face masks to workers who request one as required by the Emergency Temporary Standards.
