• A form letter providers can fill in when responding to OSHA inquiries due to complaints regarding limited or unavailable PPE. 
• A document on OSHA guidance when PPE is critically low or unavailable including steps providers can follow. 
• An explanation of OSHA and CDC guidance on N95 respirators that are critically low or unavailable. This resource provides five options with guidance on what to do for a limited supply of N95 or other respirators to no N95 or other respirators available. 
• A document with updated guidance from OSHA on employer recording and reporting requirements for COVID-19.
