16 Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. MIOSHA consultations can be as simple as a question (“Is there a MIOSHA rule about…”) or a visit to your jobsite. We can provide information and insight regarding hazards, abatement, and compliance. » Hazard surveys—Often called a ‘mock inspection,’ a Hazard Survey is when a MIOSHA CET consultant visits your office or jobsite to help in the identification of hazards, recommend ways to protect employees (abate the hazard), and discuss compliance requirements. All free of any citations or penalties. This is an interactive process which focuses on the scope of your actual work and is an excellent way to learn how to protect employees and avoid citations. After the walk, you will receive a written report that outlines the items discussed and recommendations on how to correct the identified hazards. You will also receive documentation that exempts you from a random, programmed enforcement inspection for a specified amount of time. » Customized trainings—CET consultants are happy to conduct trainings based on your needs. Whether it is a two hour fall protection training, asbestos awareness classes, or another area you wish to focus on, our consultants can help. We have consultants that specialize in construction safety, general industry safety, as well as industrial hygienist. Simply contact your local consultant to discuss the possibilities. » MIOSHA Training Institute—MTI classes are an excellent way to access focused training classes based on MIOSHA Safety and Health Standards. These classes are offered in half and full day offerings across the State through our co-sponsors. While there is a fee for these classes, they can be used to earn certifications or used for college credit through Macomb Community College. So, let’s treat safety just like every other part of your business: a process that is constantly improved upon. MIOSHA’s CET consultants are here to help and to make you better. Improving the well-being of your workers sends a strong statement about your values, keeps insurance rates low while keeping workers on the job, and can help you become a better contractor.
