As a reminder, Oregon OSHA recently published extensive temporary rules regarding COVID-19 workplace exposure that implicate all workplaces in Oregon. Employers should have the following forms and plans completed by Monday, December 7:

– COVID-19 Exposure Risk Assessment
– Infection Control Plan

Employers with more than 10 employees must document their Exposure Risk Assessment(s) and Infection Control Plan(s) in writing, and ensure that a copy of any Infection Control Plan is accessible to employees at their workplace.

Model forms and plans are provided by Oregon OSHA here.

It is important that employers stay up-to-date with the many deadlines imposed by Oregon OSHA’s new rules. Details regarding these and other upcoming employer requirements are outlined in Barran Liebman’s prior Oregon OSHA E-Alert (originally published November 9, 2020).
