Oregon is recognized as a national leader in developing innovative policies that protect the health and safety rights of workers. Strong community advocacy and inaction at the federal level have contributed to the passage of some recent legislation in Oregon. This conference will explore the intended and unintended consequences of recent Oregon laws such as family leave, hospital staffing requirements, overtime for agriculture workers, and the right to refuse hazardous work.
Conference attendees will learn about the legal landscape for workers and employers in Oregon from experts from across the state. Join labor lawyers, occupational safety and health practitioners, and industry and labor leaders as they explore Oregon’s recent labor laws from a Total Worker Health® perspective, which brings a comprehensive understanding of physical and psychological safety and health at work to advance worker well-being.
Employers, business owners, workers, health and safety providers, human resources specialists, and labor union members are encouraged to participate. Attendees will have an opportunity to engage with a diverse group of stakeholders in a stimulating discussion about policy, practice, and implementation of these Oregon laws that can benefit all. Conference participants will be eligible for 5.5 hours of professional development credit upon completion.
