Bars and restaurants also must close at 10 p.m. statewide. h oW to CoMplain Oregon’s Occupational Safe- ty and Health Administration recommends the public use its online form for reporting workplace hazards. “We will continue to take phone calls about workplace hazards concerning the nov- el coronavirus,” said Michael Wood, administrator for Ore- gon OSHA. “However, our on- line system is just as fast – if not faster – at absorbing com- plaints and allowing us to effi- ciently respond to them.” OSHA enforces the state’s workplace safety and health rules and works to improve conditions for Oregon workers. The online form can be found at osha.oregon.gov under the “get help” tab. s oMe Care visiting alloWed Licensed long-term care providers may provide limit- ed outdoor visitation for res- idents if the facility develops a plan to ensure COVID-19 won’t spread. Following safety prerequi- sites -- health screenings, face coverings, physical distancing, limits on the number of visi- tors -- is mandatory. While visits with family and friends are essential to well-be- ing, they also create significant risk for residents and workers. The Department of Human Services outdoor visitation policy applies to all facilities licensed by the Office of Aging and People with Disabilities, including nursing, assisted living, residential and memo- ry care facilities, as well as all adult foster homes. “We hope this policy provides some relief to residents, their family members and friends who we know have suffered extreme hardship as a result of visitation restrictions,” said Mike McCormick of the state Office of Aging.
