Oregon OSHA Holding Public Forums on Penalties
From Oregon OSHA –
Oregon’s Occupational Safety and Health Division (Oregon OSHA) announces a series of public forums to seek input on the agency’s penalty structure.
On both the national and state levels, there have been suggestions in recent years that OSHA penalties are not being used as effectively as they might to promote health and safety in the workplace. The purpose of the forums will be to discuss potential changes that could be made to Oregon OSHA penalties in order to respond to these suggestions.
