Connecticut remains in Phase 2 of Governor Lamont's reopening plan, but industry-specific COVID requirements are being updated regularly with new guidance. All businesses permitted to open in Phases 1 and 2 must self-certify through the Connecticut DECD website that they are following the CT COVID guidelines and safety measures before opening.
In addition to developing a plan for reopening that complies with CT COVID guidelines, essential services and food businesses are also required to institute a COVID employee training program and ensure participation. Training must be provided in the employees' language and at their literacy level. All businesses that self-certify they are adhering to these requirements are then published on a publicly searchable website.
Opus has developed COVID training programs that comply with both Connecticut COVID requirements and OSHA safety guidelines. Opus's text-based training is accessible to your employees and enables you to promote a safe workplace for your staff and customers.
