Cal/OSHA's COVID-19 Non-Emergency Temporary Standards are in effect until Feb. 3, 2025. On Cal/OSHA's page, users will find a list of FAQs and other other helpful information regarding workplace guidance.

Guidance for Cleaning Schools During COVID-19

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has a COVID-19 website, which includes a list of disinfectants (from List N) approved to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

Included here is a flowchart (Page 2) from the Healthy Schools Act that can assist in determining which products to use. If the product is a disinfectant, it is exempt from the notification, posting, reporting and Integrated Pest Management requirements, but the training requirements are still in effect.

Only properly trained staff should conduct the cleaning operations to be compliant with California state law. Under no circumstances should cleaning or disinfecting be assigned to students.

Each product will differ in its requirements for personal protective equipment, but those requirements should be followed. For example, if the package of disinfecting wipes says that the user should wear gloves, provide disposable or reusable rubber gloves to all staff using the wipes. Hand sanitizers and antimicrobial soaps are also exempt from these regulations. This fact sheet may be useful in explaining the difference.

Child Care

The SDCOE team has created guiding documents for districts’ use in preparing to open and continuing to operate child care while CDPH and Community Care Licensing COVID-19 precautions for child care settings continue to be in place. The School Age and Early Learning Child Care Settings Administrative Planning Tool may be used to plan when opening a child care setting. The SDCOE Emergency Child Care Toolkit also includes the Early Learning and School Age Care Settings Implementation Checklist, with links to the most current guidance and resources for child care settings (all age groups).
