Operative words

On April 28th, 2020, Oregon OSHA adopted temporary emergency rules in response to the COVID-19 Emergency. These rules affect three different but related aspects of Oregon's industry -- Field Sanitation for Hand Labor, Temporary Labor Housing, and Agriculture Employer Provided Transport... 1) All enforcement of the rule (including the provisions that technically take effect May 11) will be delayed until June 1, 2020. 2) Individual growers seeking a further enforcement delay... will need to seek a temporary variance based on their particular circumstances.
