Operative words

Unless otherwise indicated, the rule's provisions take effect May 4, 2021, and remain in effect until revised or repealed. Note: Oregon OSHA's temporary rule addressing COVID-19 in the workplace expires May 4, 2021, 180 days after its adoption. Under the Oregon Administrative Procedures Act, a temporary rule cannot be renewed or extended beyond 180 days. Therefore, in order to extend protections for workers against COVID-19, which remains a significant concern, Oregon OSHA adopted this rule following the normal process for permanent rulemaking.
