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.
State officials said that the two locations willfully violated the state s COVID-19 restrictions by opening indoor dining while the county was on Extreme Risk status.
