This event will cover topics such as:

  • With respect to vaccination, what an employer can and cannot mandate.

  • How your company should respond to a worker who refuses to get vaccinated and how to identify and handle acceptable exemptions from vaccination (religious, health, etc.).
  • Legal liability relating to any real or alleged “side effects” of vaccination.
  • How to respond if a customer, vendor or co-worker refuses to work with a non-vaccinated employee.
  • Overall protections that employers have with respect to vaccination and COVID-19 – and how to preserve them.

ISEA is an American National Standards Institute-accredited standard developing organization.

ISEA works closely with manufacturers, test laboratories, subject matter experts, end users and government agencies in the standards development process and with its members to support protecting workers worldwide.
