Upcoming Public Hearings for Proposed Rules

September 24, 2024

Proposed Adoption of Federal OSHA Changes to Hazard Communication Administrative Rules
Text of changes
May 20, 2024, Federal Register
Update: On October 9, 2024, federal OSHA published corrections and technical amendments to the Hazard Communication Standard CFR 1910.1200, this occurred after Oregon OSHA had proposed its adoption by reference on September 24, 2024, of the version of 1910.1200 published in the May 20, 2024, federal register. Given the timing, Oregon OSHA is unable to incorporate these changes into its proposed rule for adoption. Therefore, the agency intends to re-propose adoption by reference of both the May 20, 2024, and October 9, 2024, versions of CFR 1910.1200 soon.

Oregon OSHA appointed an advisory committee to provide recommendations on the estimated fiscal impact of the proposed rule for consideration in preparation of the fiscal impact statements. The fiscal impact advisory committee considered proposed draft fiscal impact statements and recommended amendments. Oregon OSHA considered those recommendations and the work of the committee in preparing the fiscal impact statements for its employer-provided housing rulemaking. Oregon OSHA appreciates the hard work and efforts by the committee to assist Oregon OSHA with this rulemaking. Please note additional information related to Oregon OSHA’s proposed rule for employer-provided housing can be found on the ALH advisory committee page.
