COVID-19 Workplace Reporting
Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Non-Emergency Regulations Update
As of February 3rd, 2025 the Cal/OSHA COVID-19 Non-Emergency Regulations have expired with the exception of subsection 3205(j), this means that there will no longer be a specific set of regulatory requirements relating to COVID-19 prevention in the workplace.
Subsection 3205 (j) requires employers to keep a record of and track all new COVID-19 cases with the employee’s name, contact information, occupation, location where the employee worked, the date of the last day at the workplace, and the date of the positive COVID-19 test and/or COVID-19 diagnosis. These records must be retained for two years beyond the period in which the record is necessary to meet the requirements of this section.
Employers are still required to maintain a safe and healthful place of employment as required by Labor Code section 6400, and must establish, implement, and maintain an effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) as required by Title 8, California Code of Regulations, section 3203.
Health care providers, schools, or administrator of a health facility, clinic, or other congregate setting must continue to report any disease outbreak in compliance with California Code of Regulations, Title 17, (CCR) 2500, 2593, 2641.5-2643.20, and 2800-2812 Reportable Diseases and Conditions.
