W. Virginia Gov. Jim Justice: Face Masks Mandatory >>9876036 (lb)
OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)
COVID-19 - Control and Prevention
“This section provides guidance for workers and employers involved in retail operations that remain open during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly those operations with high customer volumes and in critical sectors. This includes retail pharmacies and drug stores, grocery stores, and other entities that sell essential supplies.”
“This guidance is not a standard or regulation, and it creates no new legal obligations”
“Most retail workers in critical and high customer-volume environments are unlikely to need PPE beyond what they use to protect themselves during routine job tasks.”
NOTE: this means MOST RETAIL WORKERS DO NOT NEED FACE PROTECTION.
And if most retail workers don't need face protection, why would the customers?
“However, employers should consider whether their hazard and risk assessments warrant the use of items such as gloves or eye and FACE PROTECTION. For example, workers may need gloves when implementing protocols for cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces.”
