Governor Whitmer’s Executive Order 2020-59 requires, among other things, businesses to develop a “COVID-19 preparedness and response plan”.
Many employers, if they are even aware of the requirement, are confused about how to draft. We are here to help! Contact Joy here at joy@ferndalechamber.com or click below.
"Acting under the Michigan Constitution of 1963 and Michigan law, I order the following:
1. All businesses or operations that are permitted to require their employees to leave the homes or residences for work under Executive Order 2020-92, and any order that follows it, must, at a minimum:
(a) Develop a COVID-19 preparedness and response plan, consistent with recommendations in Guidance on Preparing Workplaces for COVID-19, developed by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration and available here. By June 1, 2020, or within two weeks of resuming in-person activities, whichever is later, a business’s or operation’s plan must be made readily available to employees, labor unions, and customers, whether via website, internal network, or by hard copy."
