Oregon OSHA has adopted a temporary rule to increase protections for workers against the spread of coronavirus in employer-provided housing and in labor-intensive farm operations.  The rule, which takes effect on May 11 and will remain in effect until no later than October 28, strengthens requirements in three areas: field sanitation, labor housing, and transportation.  In field sanitation it requires employers to appoint one or more social distancing officers to ensure at least six feet of separation during work activities, breaks, and meal periods.  The same applies for housing operations to ensure at least six feet of distance between unrelated people.  In transportation, the rule requires at least three feet of social distancing during travel in employer-provided vehicles, as well as facial coverings worn by passengers and by the driver in employer-provided vehicles.  The Oregon Farm Bureau says with only 11 days’ notice, it is concerned supply chain issues make complying with these rules impossible.
