• Recordkeeping in Relation to COVID-19 Vaccinations5/24/2021

  With a few exceptions, Oregon OSHA has adopted the federal recordkeeping standard by reference; and keeping in line with Federal OSHA we will not enforce the recordkeeping standard in relation to vaccinations.

  Are adverse reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine recordable on the OSHA recordkeeping log?

  DOL and OSHA, as well as other federal agencies, are working diligently to encourage COVID-19 vaccinations. OSHA does not wish to have any appearance of discouraging workers from receiving COVID-19 vaccination, and also does not wish to disincentivize employers’ vaccination efforts. As a result, OSHA will not enforce 29 CFR 1904’s recording requirements to require any employers to record worker side effects from COVID-19 vaccination through May 2022. We will reevaluate the agency’s position at that time to determine the best course of action moving forward.
