Pamplin Media Group - State panel will consider rules for climate-change plan

July 29 2021
Advocacy groups want higher target for reduced greenhouse gases than proposed by Gov. Brown and state agency.
As the Environmental Quality Commission prepares to hear from the public about proposed rules, two dozen environmental and other groups want to go beyond what Gov. Kate Brown has set as targets for reduction of greenhouse gases.
Brown stepped in with an executive order just days after Oregon lawmakers abruptly adjourned their 2020 session amid Republican walkouts, which blocked action by majority Democrats on climate-change and other pending legislation. Democrats were left without the numbers required to conduct business.
"We simply did not give up," Brown said. "We were relentless in pursuing an executive order to cap carbon emissions and have state agencies work to implement that order. We did not give up, and we will not give up. We know that climate change is impacting us right now."

Oregon OSHA enacts temporary rules, but some worry if they go far enough

SALEM â New rules to protect workers laboring in excessive heat were enacted on Thursday, July 8, but some groups worry they wonât be enforced rigorously enough to prevent future deaths.
Gov. Kate Brown directed the Oregon Occupational Safety and Health Administration to enact temporary rules, which include ensuring workersâ access to shade and cool drinking water when temperatures reach or exceed 80 degrees Fahrenheit. When temperatures rise above 90 degrees Fahrenheit, employers must also provide extra breaks or a cool-down period.
This response to calls for emergency rules to protect workers laboring outdoors followed a farmworkerâs death on a farm north of Salem on June 26. Sebastian Francisco Perez, 38, was moving irrigation lines on Ernst Nursery & Farms in St. Paul.

Heatwave sparks emergency rule
July 09 2021
Oregon OSHA adopts emergency rule to protect workers from the dangers of high and extreme heat.
Oregon OSHA announced Thursday that it adopted an emergency rule aimed at protecting workers from the dangers of high and extreme heat.
The temporary rule takes effect immediately and remains in place for 180 days, during which time framers will be working on a permanent heat-stress prevention rule anticipated to be adopted in the fall.
The temporary rule was adopted following direction from Oregon Gov. Kate Brown to enact emergency measures. It comes in the wake of an extreme, record-breaking heatwave that claimed more than 100 lives in Oregon, including Sebastian Francisco Perez, who died while working on a tree farm in St. Paul during the height of that heatwave.

Oregon OSHA’s Emergency Heat Rules Are a Good Start to Protecting At-Risk Workers; Strong Enforcement Will be Necessary
SALEM, Ore— Oregon OSHA today issued emergency rules protecting workers from climate-fueled excessive heat, following an extensive campaign by workers’ rights, environmental, and public health advocates. Governor Kate Brown directed the agency to adopt emergency rules following the tragic and preventable death of 38-year-old farmworker, Sebastian Francisco Perez. Perez died while working on a tree farm in St. Paul, Oregon during the height of last week’s heatwave. Oregon OSHA is in the process of drafting permanent rules to protect workers from exposure to both excessive heat and wildfire smoke, expected to be finalized this fall. Given the unprecedented extreme temperatures and grim forecasts of another devastating wildfire season, advocacy groups have pressed Oregon OSHA to adopt emergency rules to protect workers from climate hazards this summer. The tragic death of Perez makes it clearer than ever: protections for workers simply cannot wait.

In a press release statement, advocacy groups PCUN, Renew Oregon, Northwest Justice Workers Project, and Oregon Environmental Council, said they will continue to inform workers of their workplace rights and push for permanent protections.
It’s crucial that we continue to take steps towards long term policy shifts in our state, that take climate change, and workers safety seriously,” PCUN Executive Director Reyna Lopez said. “That means creating standards that keep people safe, while engaging stakeholders in climate policy that will allow our communities to be healthy, and thrive in the long term.”

Group says Oregon must live up to goals Gov. Brown set after 2020 GOP legislative walkouts.
As Oregon begins to put together its plan to cap greenhouse gases, environmental advocates say the public needs to weigh in to hold everyone to the eventual goal of 80% reduction from 1990 levels by 2050 — or more.
Gov. Kate Brown issued her executive order almost exactly one year ago, after Republican walkouts in both chambers blocked votes on legislation (House Bill 2020) that would have set that ultimate target and an interim goal of 45% by 2035. Democratic leaders then adjourned the 2020 session.
