7 Core Elements of the Safety and Health Program Recommended Practices (Intermediate) Brenda Cani, Senior Occupational Safety Consultant, MIOSHA CET Division.
Whether you are a small start-up, an established business, or just ready to start managing safety in a responsible way, there are some simple steps you can take to kick off your safety and health program.
These recommended practices provide responsible employers, workers, and worker representatives with a sound, flexible framework for addressing safety and health issues in diverse workplaces. They may be used in any workplace, but will be particularly helpful in small and medium-sized workplaces. They can be applied equally well in traditional, fixed manufacturing workplaces and in the service sector, healthcare, retail, and even mobile or office-based work environments.

Ground Person/Spotter – Train the Trainer (Intermediate) Chris Johnson, Senior Safety Consultant, MIOSHA CET Division, and Tarah Kile, Construction Safety Consultant, MIOSHA.
Recently, the use of large equipment in Michigan’s industries has exploded. As a result, many companies are experiencing accidents, injuries, death, and other unplanned events while working with and around large equipment operations. The workshop originated from the need to provide quality training for ground persons, spotters, and those who work around this type of equipment. Participants will spend time learning about a course developed by safety professionals from Michigan’s construction industry and why it is important to share this information with all industries and workers. Attendees will get an opportunity to test drive the new training curriculum, which includes written assessments, tailgate meeting materials, as well as a small-scale, hands-on mock-ups of these operations. The goal in sharing is to provide materials and training techniques to safety leaders, to keep Michigan workers safer and more productive going forward.

Effective October 2018, the revised MIOSHA compliance instructions related to the provision of emergency eyewash and showers will be used to enforce the provision of “suitable facilities” referenced in the MIOSHA Medical Services and First Aid standard. This instruction includes requirements from the American National Standards Institute ANSI Z358.1-2014 Standard for Plumbed and Portable Eyewash Stations. Chemical hazard classifications from the MIOSHA Hazard Communication Standard as well as work practices and employer assessments are used to determine when an employer must provide emergency eyewash and shower facilities.
