Face masks worn in the workplace must consistently cover the nose and mouth and meet current CDC guidance. They also must not include symbols or sayings that might be considered offensive to other employees. If an employee is unable to comply with this requirement due to an existing medical condition, the individual should request information regarding the reasonable accommodation process from his/her supervisor.
Current masking guidelines will be posted in each DLA installation, facility and worksite. DLA employees required to go into a worksite who are unsure of the local masking status should check with their local chain of command.
