Allowing employees to wear masks post-COVID is a recommended safety measure in California and in many other states, cities, and counties. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommends wearing masks to help protect oneself and others from becoming infected with COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. Wearing a mask may help slow the spread of COVID-19, especially when combined with physical distancing and frequent handwashing. It is especially important when there is widespread community transmission. Along with the scientific advice from the CDC, California also supports masks as personal protective equipment for healthcare personnel who are in contact with patients with COVID-19, which is the case in many facilities. Therefore, California has put in place guidelines and requirements for employers to implement safety techniques designed to protect employees at work, including the wearing of face coverings.
Here are some reminders on risk with not allowing the right to mask.
1. Increased risk of transmission of contagious diseases in the workplace, such as Covid-19.
2. Decreased morale and teamwork amongst employees, as some may feel uncomfortable without the necessary safety measures.
3. Loss of customers due to the perception of an unsafe workplace environment.
4. Possible legal repercussions for failing to comply with safety regulations.
5. Loss of revenue due to lower staff productivity or absenteeism due to illness spread through the workplace.
