OSHA Guidelines for Agriculture Workers
OSHA issued new guidances that include recommended actions to protect agriculture workers from exposure to COVID-19.

The guidance includes recommendations for shared workspaces and also for shared housing and shared transportation vehicles to and from the worksite.

Here are some of the recommendations:
  • Screen agricultural workers for coronavirus symptoms, manage workers who have symptoms upon arrival at work or who become sick during the day, and address return to work after worker exposure
  • Use touch-free clocks and automatic doors, install plastic barriers when distances of six feet between individuals are not possible, and rearrange chairs and tables in break areas
  • Implement cleaning, disinfection, and sanitation protocols
  • Train workers in a language they understand on the signs and symptoms of coronavirus, proper infection control and social distancing practices, and what to do if they or a coworker experience symptoms
  • Encourage workers to use cloth face coverings in certain circumstances (e.g., when utilizing shared methods of transportation)
  • Provide and train workers on the proper use of personal protective equipment through videos or in-person visual demonstrations
