Comment from Wilson, Boyd; HealthEast

I see no benefit in adding an OSHA regulation on this topic given there are already expert evidence-based guidelines, state rules, accreditation standards, and conditions of participation for infection prevention and control. Past experience with such a federal regulation is that it is not able to be updated in a timely and efficient manner to reflect ever-changing evidence and practices. Further, it would likely add more confusion when trying to crosswalk and relate to other existing guidance and requirements.
