Advisory Groups

Advisory councils and groups are one of the ways Oregon OSHA involves the public in drafting rules. The advisory group is an excellent source of determining what, if any, fiscal impact the new rulemaking may have on the regulated community. When Oregon OSHA appoints an advisory group, the recommendations are considered before adopting, amending, or repealing a rule. Advisory group meetings are open to the public.
