Oregon OSHA adopts permanent COVID-19 rule
Oregon OSHA has adopted a permanent rule to address COVID-19 workplace risks. This rule replaces the temporary rule adopted in November 2020. Oregon OSHA indicated it will repeal this rule once it is no longer necessary to address the COVID-19 pandemic. Oregon OSHA states that several stakeholder groups will meet beginning in July and at least every two months thereafter, to discuss whether all or part of the rule can and should be repealed.
Key protection measures remain, including physical distancing, use of face coverings, employee training, notification procedures, risk assessment, and infection control planning. However, the permanent rule also includes some changes.
