NSC creates task force to help employers resume operations

More than two dozen associations and companies have teamed up with the National Safety Council to create a nationwide task force to help employers safely resume operations in the post-pandemic world.

The task force, dubbed SAFER: Safe Actions For Employee Returns, will issue recommendations and develop guidance for employers, including small and mid-sized companies, to help them identify the most critical areas for ensuring the safety of workers from COVID-19 and other hazards and cope with re-engaging the workforce. The task force will also develop general and sector-specific playbooks to help employers align worker safety with their business objectives.

The task force is comprised of nonprofits, medical professional, government agencies, trade associations and some Fortune 500 businesses.
