The employer can require a face mask and shield for the employee. By way of example, hospitals are requiring employees to wear face shields of a particular nature and masks and particular clothing such as the lead shield apron. The court will support decisions based upon worker safety. Please call if you have any questions. Ed Dimon, Esq. 732-797-1600
