As businesses begin to reopen, employees will need to feel you are doing everything possible to make the workplace physically safe for them. Not only do they expect it, it's your obligation as an employer. Employers are responsible for providing a safe and healthy workplace (Section 5(a)(1)) of the OSHA Act.

Arizona companies need to develop a return-to-work safety strategy, or a Physical Safety Program, for their workforce. COVID testing your employees is a critical data point in your Physical Safety Program. Employers need to know who has had exposure to the virus and has built up antibodies for immunity, and who has not.

Testing is critical, but what test do I need? What are the protocols for testing? What do positive and negative results actually mean? Are the tests accurate?  The noise in the media has caused great confusion.

In this webinar, we intend to remove the confusion out of Covid – 19 testing for return-to-work as part of a blended testing program.  Gina Kesler and Jay Hughes of Impact Employee Solutions will review Covid-19 testing solutions, what the results mean, and how they fit into your return to work strategy.  Impact Employee Solutions is a Phoenix-based full service Employee Screening company.  As an active ATA member, our drug, alcohol and clinical testing expertise is a core competency that lends itself to Covid-19 testing for your organization.  www.impactemployee.com
