Rules and laws

Oregon Administrative Rules

In 1971, the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 became part of national labor law. Two years later, Oregon passed its own occupational safety and health legislation, the Oregon Safe Employment Act. Oregon Safe Employment Act authorized Oregon OSHA to enforce the state's workplace safety and health rules. All Oregon Administrative Rules are available on the Oregon Secretary of State Administrative Rules Database, but don't include tables or graphics.
