The guidebook is subdivided into three main sections: environmental regulations, Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act (MIOSHA) standards, and construction and fire codes. Each chapter within each section targets a specific regulatory program. This Web site contains a complete version of the guidebook and allows you to download it by chapter.

The  "Self-Assessment Survey" is a tool you can use to find which regulations are applicable to your specific operation. Simply answer each question in the survey "yes" or "no" to be directed to the portions of the book relevant to your business.
