OAR 437-007-0210
Checking System

(1)

The employer must implement a checking system to account for all employees at the end of each work shift. Employees must be knowledgeable about the checking system.

(2)

The employer must implement a system to check the well-being of those workers whose jobs may be single employee assignments, as provided for in OAR 437-007-0215 (Working Alone)(3). The system must include:

(a)

The time interval between checks and the procedures to be followed if the employee cannot be contacted, including provisions for emergency medical care and treatment.

(b)

A specific person must be assigned for:

(A)

Contacting the lone employee.

(B)

Verifying when contacts were made.

(c)

The time intervals for checking the single employee’s well-being must be understood and agreed to by all parties. Intervals should reflect the hazardous nature of the work and the methods available for checking.

(d)

The system for checking an employee’s well-being must be reviewed at least annually, or more frequently if there is a change in work arrangements/assignments which could adversely affect an employee’s well-being, or a report that the system is not working effectively.
