Description:Objective.
Describe COVID-19 mitigation measures in workplaces of employed, U.S. blood donors by industry and work arrangement.
Methods.
During May–December 2021, blood donors responded to a survey; we describe the distribution of reported workplace mitigation measures by industry and work arrangement organized using the hierarchy of controls.
Results.
Of 53,433 respondents representing 21 industries, ventilation upgrades were reported by 4%–38% of respondents (overall: 20%); telework access ranged from 14%–80% (53%). Requiring masks (overall: 84%; range: 40%–94%), physical distancing (77%; 51%–86%), paid leave for illness (70%; 38%–87%), and encouraging vaccination (61%; 33%–80%) were common. Independent workers reported fewer measures than those in traditional employment settings.
Conclusions.
Mitigation measures varied by industry and work arrangement. Some mitigation measures may be challenging or irrelevant to implement in certain industries, supporting the idea that mitigation is not a one-size-fits-all strategy.
