** There is the EO **
What EO ? can you point me to the #? I don’t see it in the Fed. Register. I see it for Fed. Contractors and Fed. Employees. Maybe its name hides its contents. The RATs are good for that.

thanks
The EO I was remarking on is the contactor one. EO 14042
Good place, IMO, to track goings on there is https://www.saferfederalworkforce.gov/contractors/
“Safer Federal Workforce” appears to be an ad hoc group (”Task Force”), being given the authority to promulgate regulations against contractors.
Q: Does this clause apply in States or localities that seek to prohibit compliance with any of the workplace safety protocols set forth in the Task Force Guidance for Federal Contractors and Subcontractors?
A: Yes. These requirements are promulgated pursuant to Federal law and supersede any contrary State or local law or ordinance. Additionally, nothing in the Task Force Guidance shall excuse noncompliance with any applicable State law or municipal ordinance establishing more protective workplace safety protocols than those established under the Task Force Guidance.
Link to OSHA thing (not EO 14042) in Federal register ...
