How are we a year into the pandemic with many workers being compelled to travel to work unnecessarily, thereby undermining the efforts that we are all making, yet the HSA does not have the authority to do anything about it? As far as I can tell, no other body has that authority either. Surely the HSA should be given the power to conduct inspections where workers could be safely working from home but are unnecessarily being compelled to go to work and to fine employers that are doing this.
