Last week, OSHA implemented a new rule for COVID-19 Public Health Emergency in All Oregon Workplaces that will be important for Councils, Districts and Land Trusts to understand. Key points include:
- Ventilation requirements that may necessitate some HVAC and other updates – problematic for older office buildings (Employers with 10 or more employees must attest that they are meeting the requirements by filing the information.)
- No repeal date; in fact we are understanding that a new set of rules on communicable diseases with similar requirements will be issued if these expire
- Requirements for distancing, masks and face shields (most of us already comply, but we need to know exactly what is intended)
- Transportation of multiple employees
- Written notice for removal of quarantine
- Written notice of details of leave options
- Written PPE policy for supply and a crisis management plan in place
- Written notification of COVID exposure and retention recordkeeping
- Sanitation requirements
- Infection control plan required
Jason Jantzi, Risk Management Consultant with Special Districts Association of Oregon will discuss these issues as well as recent requirement changes related to wildfire smoke and heat.
