FPA Submits Comments in Response to OSHA’s COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard

The Flexible Packaging Association (FPA) respectfully submits the following comments in response to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA’s) COVID-19 Vaccination and Testing Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS). FPA is a national trade association that represents flexible packaging (such as rollstock, bags, pouches, labels, liners, wraps, and tamper-evident packaging for food and medicine) manufacturers and suppliers to the industry in the United States. Flexible packaging, a $34.8 billion industry, is the second largest and fastest growing segment of the packaging industry and employs approximately 79,000 workers in the United States. FPA appreciates OSHA’s consideration of these comments on the ETS as it currently stands, as well as on any future amendments or iterations.
