Cal/OSHA cites COVID-19 violations in meatpacking

The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) cited eight employers across the state for not protecting workers from COVID-19 following inspections at meat processing facilities. Many were cited for violations of the state’s injury and illness prevention program standard—a state regulation with no corresponding federal standard.

Employers also were cited for failing to report work-related illnesses and fatalities. The employers included meatpacking companies and worker staffing agencies.

“Enforcement of COVID-19 protections at meatpacking and food processing facilities has been a priority of Cal/OSHA given the high rates of positive cases and alarming number of deaths among food processing workers,” Cal/OSHA Chief Doug Parker said in an agency statement.

On November 12, the agency cited Smithfield Foods, Inc., in Vernon, California, seeking $58,100 in proposed penalties, for multiple COVID-19-related violations, including two serious in nature, and cited its staffing firm, CitiStaff Solutions, for two serious violations, seeking penalties of $46,695. Cal/OSHA inspectors determined that Smithfield failed to adequately address at least 300 cases of COVID-19, including 3 that required hospitalization, among its employees and contract workers hired by CitiStaff Solutions. Smithfield also failed to report serious COVID-19 illnesses to the agency.

On another note: a fungus found in Chernobyl has been found to shield astronauts from radiation. What else might that forbidden area be hiding?

Wearing a mask is not protecting the wearer from contracting the virus.

Wearing a mask reduces the virus from being spread by the wearer into the nearby environment. So in an environment where everyone is wearing masks the spread of transmission is reduced. Masks do not prevent contraction, they reduce transmission.

wolves, for one.

Cure for Covid-19, You just have to go in there and get it. Not the "safe" touristy area, the real radioactive part. Good luck.
Seriously, there are quite a few dogs, cats and other domesticated animals that survived the purge that seem to be doing ok. There is some animal charity in Russia that is capturing and taming the dogs and adopting them out. They are all reproducing, but who knows about life spans, physical health or glow in the darkedness

Please wear a mask to help reduce transmission. thanks!

I only wear respirators, and have since the beginning. While I'm not worried about the virus, I am worried about a massive loss of income because of the time I will have to take off if I get exposed.

BTW, why would I want to wear something that increases the spread, as you are suggesting? I thought your goal was to decrease the spread???

I read somewhere that the respirators are similar to the cloth masks in reducing the spread to other people, but protect you much more. But it has to be fitted to you.

Even if it is not fitted perfectly it is WAY better than a non-respirator.

It's like arguing that if you need to get somewhere fast, you take the Yugo because the Gallardo has the wrong octane gas!

Ok, lets think logically about this. Pre Covid, when you got sick, you stayed home so you weren't breathing all over people spreading your disease. You covered your mouth when you coughed, or at least I hope you did. Covid-19 is a new disease that is deadlier than a cold or flu and there is no real treatment for it. It is spread similar to a cold or flu and here is the kicker- you are probably asymptomatic when you are most contagious. If you don't want to wear a mask to prevent the spread, stay home and prevent the spread that way.
