MIOSHA Workplace Safety and Health Review...Without Citations

MIOSHA’s “Take a Stand Day” offers an opportunity for employers to bolster their workplace safety and health by requesting a free consultative visit from the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) with NO CITATIONS or PENALTIES. (However, employers must agree to correct all serious conditions.)

Across the state on August 12, 2020, MIOSHA is inviting employers to “Take a Stand” for workplace safety and health. For this 16th annual event, the MIOSHA program is dedicating more than 125 professional staff to visit Michigan industries targeted by the MIOSHA Strategic Plan. MIOSHA safety and health professionals, including compliance staff, outreach consultants, managers, and supervisors, will provide one-on-one consultations to address specific issues, such as:

Explain a specific MIOSHA rule.
Conduct a safety or health hazard survey.
Evaluate a safety and health management system.
Provide other requested technical assistance..

To schedule a visit complete a Request for Consultative Assistance (RCA) form electronically and submit to MIOSHA. (MIOSHA notes that the form works only when accessing it via Internet Explorer or FireFox browsers. It does not submit correctly via Google Chrome.)

The deadline to submit your request is July 24, 2020. You will be contacted two weeks prior to the date for scheduling. More information is available here.

August 12th not the most convenient day for your dealership? Not a problem! MIOSHA’s Consultation Education and Training (CET) Division also offers free safety and health assistance year-round. To learn more check out the CET web page. Also see: MIOSHA self-inspection checklist
