National Safety Council calls on all employers to require employee COVID-19 vaccinations
The National Safety Council (NSC), the nation’s leading workplace safety advocate, urged all employers to implement a COVID-19 vaccination requirement for their workers and unveiled a guide outlining four levels of requirements for various workplace risk profiles.
COVID-19 vaccines are the clearest route to ensuring worker safety and wellbeing is prioritized in the workplace. A recent survey conducted by NSC found when employers required vaccines, there was a 35% increase in workers who got the shot. Additional information about encouraging vaccine uptake, addressing vaccine hesitancy and testing in the workplace will be released as part of the Council’s SAFER effort next month.
