Oregon OSHA fines Bend, Redmond Black Bear Diners more than $35,000
Like Kevista, others, accused of violating COVID-19 workplace protections
SALEM, Ore. (KTVZ) Oregon OSHA announced Monday it has fined two Black Bear Diner locations, in Bend and Redmond, more than $35,000 for violating standards designed to protect employees from the coronavirus disease.
Both sites, under the same ownership, willfully continued to potentially expose workers to the virus, despite a public health order limiting the capacity of indoor dining to zero in an “Extreme Risk” county, the agency said.
The citations, totaling $35,600 in fines, resulted from inspections launched in response to multiple complaints about the restaurants on Northeast Third Street in Bend and on West Cedar Avenue in Redmond.
