Operative words
When it is safe to begin reopening closed businesses, each industry sector will have a list of requirements that they must meet in order to safely reopen. If a business fails to comply with those requirements, it will not be able to reopen. Any violations of those requirements can be reported to the KYSAFER hotline at 833-KYSAFER or kysafer.ky.gov.
Penalty
no independent penalty; describes the conditions of the orders (Exs. KY-017, KY-018) and the KYSAFER complaint channel
What it required
Stated the Commonwealth's own reading of its program: reopening was conditioned on meeting the minimum and sector requirements; 'even those businesses that were previously open must adopt new safeguards' and 'must also meet the minimum requirements by May 11th'; 'all employers are required to have a designated Healthy At Work officer'; employees 'are generally required to wear masks'; noncompliance reportable to the Labor Cabinet's KYSAFER hotline. The page's 'recommended' items (safety coordinators at each site; forms for health checks) are recommendations and are recorded as such.
Retrieval noteThe FAQ is an agency statement, not an order; its legal force is that of the instruments it describes (EO 2020-323 para. 3 'shall implement and comply'; the CHFS orders; 902 KAR 2:190E and 2:210E). The rendered PDF repeats the page text twice (the page's own layout); quote from the first occurrence. The live page now returns HTTP 403.
