Many of the agencies that have existed to help operators do business more safely, however, are beginning to make their jobs harder, thanks to a changing maze of regulations and requirements that sometimes even negate one another other.

These agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and others, for example, are also adjusting to ever-changing conditions as we work our way out of the pandemic.
