State Guidelines for Business Operations
Please visit the State of California
industry guidance page for resources specific to your
business for safe reopening.
Review the guidance that is relevant to your workplace, prepare a
plan based on the guidance for your industry, and put it into
action.
When complete, you can post the industry-specific checklist
provided by the state in your workplace to show your
customers and your employees that you’ve reduced the risk and are
open for business.
Before reopening, all facilities must:
- Perform a detailed risk assessment and implement a
site-specific protection plan
- Train employees on how to limit the spread of COVID-19,
including how to screen themselves for symptoms and
stay home if they have them
- Implement individual control measures and screenings
- Implement disinfecting protocols
- Implement physical distancing guidelines
It is critical that employees needing to self-isolate because of
COVID-19 are encouraged to stay at home, with sick leave policies
to support that, to prevent further infection in your workplace.
See additional information on government programs supporting
sick leave and worker’s compensation for COVID-19.
