CDC PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON CONSENT ELEMENTS AND DISCLOSURES FOR WORKPLACE COVID-19 TESTING

3/8/2021

he Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has issued guidance on the elements of consent and disclosures necessary to support employee decision-making when employers incorporate workplace COVID-19 testing.

Differences in position and authority (such as workplace hierarchies), as well as employment status in nonstandard working arrangements (e.g., temporary help, contract help or part-time employment) can affect an employee’s ability to make free decisions. This guidance suggests measures employers can take when developing a testing program.

To fully support employee decision-making and consent, these measures should include:
  • Safeguarding employees’ privacy and confidentiality;
  • Providing information that is complete and understandable on how the employer’s testing program may impact employees’ lives;
  • Explaining any parts of the testing program an employee would consider important when deciding to participate;
  • Providing information about the testing program in the employee’s preferred language using nontechnical terms;
  • Encouraging supervisors and co-workers to avoid pressuring employees to participate in the testing; and
  • Encouraging and answering questions during the consent process.
Employers should follow these measures to create a supportive environment when employees need to make decisions about workplace-based testing.
