Oregon OSHA is adopting two new emergency rules.  One puts protections in place against the hazards of wildfire smoke, and another establishes safeguards against high heat in employer-provided housing.  The wildfire smoke rule encompasses a variety of exposure controls, training and information, and other measures.  The heat rule applies to occupants of housing provided by employers.  It requires access to cooling areas and other steps to minimize dangerous heat in housing units.  Both rules take effect Aug. 9 and remain in effect for 180 days.  The two temporary rules follow Oregon OSHA’s July 8 adoption of emergency requirements to prevent heat illness in outdoor and indoor workplaces.
