Oregon Bolsters Worker Protections from Hazardous Conditions

Oregon has enacted legislation (Senate Bill 907), which further protects employees from hazardous work conditions. Senate Bill 907 takes effect on Jan. 1, 2024.

The details

Senate Bill 907 prohibits employers from firing, discriminating against or not hiring an employee or candidate who refuses to be exposed to a hazardous condition at work, provided that:

• The exposure may result in serious injury or death.
• The decision is in good faith; and
• There is no reasonable alternative.

Next steps

• Review and update worker safety policies.
• Train supervisors to help ensure compliance with Senate Bill 907 by Jan. 1, 2024.
