COVID-19 Crisis

Portrait of a Pandemic: COVID-19 Timeline

April 9, 2021

EHS Today charts how workplace safety has evolved since the global pandemic began.

It's been nearly a year and a half since the world first learned of SARS-CoV-2, and our lives haven't been the same since.

Sometimes, the days, weeks and months feel like a blur or the same a la "Groundhog Day." That's when it's a good time to pause and reflect on where we've been and how far we've come. Therefore, EHS Today highlighted some notable findings, developments and milestones since December 2019.

We hope this historical event is a once-in-a-century pandemic, but it's safe to say there have been many lessons learned around creating a culture of safety, gathering employee feedback and ideas, establishing safe protocols and developing best practices in pursuit of a safer workplace for all.

We hope that you remember what great things we can do when working in pursuit of a common goal.

In the meantime, peruse EHS Today's coverage of the COVID-19 crisis here.
