OSHA TRAINING IN MICHIGAN

OSHA supports states in developing their State Plans, but only if they are as successful as OSHA Standards and implementations. As a result, The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA), which is overseen by the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs, is the State Plan for Michigan. MIOSHA covers some private businesses and employees in addition to all state and federal employees and employers.

In addition, the Michigan State Plan includes the whole public sector as well as a portion of the private sector. However, in certain instances, such as:

• jobs in the maritime industry
• The United States Postal Service (USPS) employs contract personnel and uses facilities run by contractors.
• Every aspect of cabin crew members’ working conditions
• Employers who have been identified as members of an Indian tribe and who own or manage businesses inside the boundaries of an Indian reservation.

All the operations, personnel, employers, and other things that MIOSHA does not cover are covered by federal OSHA jurisdiction. Additionally, Federal OSHA still adheres to anti-retaliation clauses. In order to prevent retaliation, Federal OSHA supervises and regulates inspections.

The state’s general industry is inspected by the General Industry Safety and Health Division. The Construction Safety and Health Division of MIOSHA also conducts safety and health inspections at construction sites. The Field Operations Manual (FOM) is the primary document that guides MIOSHA’s enforcement efforts.
