U.S. businesses wrestle with liability issues surrounding reopening amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The Chamber of Commerce has lobbied against new safety regulations, but has complained that businesses are facing a confusing array of conflicting local, state, and federal guidelines and could benefit from a more uniform set of rules and recommended practices.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has argued that the federal government’s top priority on workplace safety should be expanding the availability of coronavirus tests. "To protect the health of U.S. workers, the federal government should establish safety protocols for businesses to follow,” Bloomberg said. “And companies that follow them in good faith should receive safe harbor from legal liability.”
