As your business ramps up after lockdown, **investing in a COVID-19 health and safety policy now can protect your employees and pay dividends for at least the next few months. **Following this guide can protect your coworkers and help prevent *another* lockdown due to an outbreak – it’s mutually beneficial.
Here, we’ll help you translate the CDC and OSHA COVID-19 guidelines into a plan of action that works for your specific situation, whether you’re looking to assess your current policy or create a new one from scratch.
***Implementation Tip – Who Writes The Guidelines? ***
As the supervisor or boss, **you are responsible for the safety and health of your employees in the workplace.**
- your experience is valuable in creating guidelines that are tailored to *your* workplace and *your* needs
AND
- your credibility is necessary to create a policy everyone can agree on and follow.
If you are unable to write the COVID-19 workplace guidelines yourself, make sure that you are heavily involved in the process and involve individuals who are qualified and experienced in **health**, **safety**, and **human resources**.

Little wonder, then, that OSHA has started paying more attention to farms, feedlots, dairies, and other ag operations. And with the [cost of OSHA citations increasing,](https://www.osha.gov/Publications/OSHA3879.pdf) farmers and ranchers simply can’t afford to let unsafe operating practices go overlooked.
