Changes in OSHA Rules for all Oregon Workplaces Now in Effect

May 16, 2021

Tuesday, May 18th 1-2:30PM

Watch the recording!  Passcode: !7+Fpcmq

OSHA recently 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 included:

  • 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  discussed these issues as well as recent requirement changes related to wildfire smoke and heat.
