OAR 437-001-0231: Abatement Verification

(1) When an employer receives a citation for a violation of the Oregon Safe Employment Act, the employer must notify the appropriate Oregon OSHA field office of the corrective action taken to comply with each cited violation by Letter of Corrective Action. Such notification must occur within 10 calendar days after the last abatement date on the citation. (2) When the compliance officer notes that violations are complied with at the time of the inspection, abatement verification for those violations is not required. (3) The employer’s verification that abatement is complete must include, for each cited violation, the date and method of abatement and a statement that affected employees and their representatives have been informed of the abatement.
