Oregon OSHA Ends COVID-19 Workplace Requirements

The state is lessening one compliance headache for business owners. On March 30, the state’s Department of Consumer and Business Services announced that “In line with updated public health guidance from the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Oregon OSHA will rescind its COVID-19 requirements for all workplaces and employer-provided housing beginning April 3, 2023. “ … Oregon OSHA had already removed many of the COVID requirements – including indoor use of facial coverings – for general workplaces and employer-provided housing while keeping such measures in place for health care settings. The division finalized those rule changes in late September 2022 using the same process that will be utilized here and following updates to public health guidance and stakeholder input.” The department’s entire news release can be read here.
