Could an organization be held liable if their employees or customers contract pandemic influenza while working at or visiting its place of business?
It is possible, especially in cases where you knew about these health concerns and failed to take the appropriate action (i.e., reasonable steps to mitigate the possible affects including instituting social distancing, good hygiene and infection control practices in the workplace). The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration has provided workplace safety and health guidance that will help employers prepare for an influenza pandemic.
