The news
comes as Gov. Phil Murphy announced an executive order to protect the health
and safety of New Jersey’s workers, including health screenings prior to every
shift and social distancing practices.
The governor
says today’s executive order establishes workplace health and safety standards
that will cover all New Jersey-based workers in both the private and public
sectors, as well as create a collaborative enforcement mechanism to ensure
complaints and reports of noncompliance are properly addressed.
The executive
order also ensures workers are informed of their rights, and that employers are
informed of their obligations
The
standards require, at a minimum, all workers undergo a health screening prior
to every shift, and everyone present at the workplace maintain at least six
feet of distance from one another to the maximum extent possible.
