Operative words
Oregon OSHA is making a substantive change to OAR 437-001-0744: Rule Addressing COVID-19 Workplace Risks... The MRB provides [medical removal protection benefits when] the need for the medical removal is met under the provisions listed in the rule.... The amendment is effective September 16, 2021. Additionally, on August 27, 2021 the Oregon Health Authority adopted a temporary rule... Oregon OSHA has the authority to enforce rules adopted by other state agencies under ORS 654.025(3)(a). This temporary rulemaking is necessary to make it clear that [Oregon OSHA enforces OAR 333-019-1025] Masking Requirements for Indoor and Outdoor Spaces, adopted by the Oregon Health Authority.

A Q3 2021 instrument adopted inside the quarter; proves Oregon OSHA was tightening, not loosening, workplace rules in September 2021.
