does Oregon OSHA do? • Our mission is to improve workplace safety and health for Oregon workers • Our program includes consultation and enforcement – Consultations are no-cost, confidential consultations requested by employers that could include hazard assessments and recommendations – Enforcement involves inspections not requested by employers (i.e., program planned inspections, complaints, accidents) and can issue citations and penalties. ~n LOStiA
Why is Oregon OSHA here? • The Lincoln County School District asked Oregon OSHA for a consultation involving Crestview Heights Elementary School • The district's request stemmed from its concern about an indoor air quality issue regarding potential diesel exhaust • The district waived its right to confidentiality, allowing us to present our consultation report's findings to the public and to answer questions ~n LOStiA
