MIOSHA

MIOSHA Supervisor's Role in Safety and Health - 
This seminar is designed for both general industry and construction first line supervision, safety and health committee members, and management personnel. Topics covered include employee safety and health training, accident investigation, hazard recognition, and self-inspection techniques. This program gives tips to supervision on methods to integrate health and safety into their daily duties and responsibilities.

Using MIOSHA General Industry and Construction standards and required written programs as a baseline, supervisors are given suggestions to improve their safety and health hazard recognition skills.

This dynamic one-day seminar is intended for employers committed to ensuring their facility meets or exceeds the requirements for employee safety contained in MIOSHA General Industry Safety Standard, Part 14 Conveyors. Attendees will recognize, from multiple examples, the types of conveyors commonly found in the workplace. Detect the associated hazards that employees are potentially exposed to, identify the appropriate guarding and worker protection for those hazards. Review the safety related design, electrical, and specific provisions for the identified conveyors. During group activity, evaluate and analyze fatality case studies for contributing factors and rule violations.

MIOSHA Parts 35, 90, & 490 - Confined Space in Construction and GI - 
This course will provide an overview of both the construction and general industry rules related to confined space and permit-required confined spaces.  Examples of actual spaces will be used to clarify the definition and facilitate proper identification of confined space versus permit-required confined spaces.  The three means of entering a permit-required confined space are described in Part 35, 90, and 490.  These will be discussed along with their correct implementation.  

This course also includes an introduction to the principles of air monitoring and ventilation of confined and permit-required confined spaces.   

MIOSHA Parts 42, 92, & 430 - Hazard Communications & Right to Know Requirement for GI & Const. -
This course is designed to provide the learner with an understanding of the requirements of the 2012 MIOSHA Hazard Communication Standards for Construction Safety and Health, General Industry Safety, and Occupational Health, (Parts 42, 92, and 430) as well as Right-To-Know Requirements in Act 154. This includes the new requirements related to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS).

Upon completion of this class, participants will be able to evaluate an existing hazard communication program and/or create and implement a hazard communication program that is compliant with the 2012 changes. The goal of the class will be to protect employees by increasing employer compliance with the requirements of this standard.
