Abstract

The Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health (MassCOSH) developed workplace health and safety recommendations for Phase 2 of the Massachusetts plans to reopen the economy as the spread of SARS-CoV-2 novel coronavirus was reduced in the state. The governor's plan included minimal measures for workplace health and safety protections during this pandemic. The MassCOSH recommendations are presented in this document.
