The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) held its fourth annual “Take a Stand Day,” (TASD) on August 7th. MIOSHA dedicated more than 125 professional staff to visit Michigan high-hazard industries targeted by the MIOSHA Strategic Plan.

MIOSHA safety and health professionals—including compliance staff, outreach consultants, managers, and supervisors—all went into the field to provide safety and health consultations for companies who participated in this event. There were no CITATIONS or FINES for participating workplaces. Participants agreed to correct all serious conditions.

MIOSHA distributed “Comment Cards” during each visit so that our customers could rate the service received. Here are some comments:

• “The visit gave me insight into specific areas that need special attention, especially as a new safety coordinator.” Exco Extrusion Dies USA, Chesterfield Township.

• “Continue programs like this and make the consulting and training consultants better known.” J & M Machine Products, Muskegon.

A total of 219 requests were received. Participating employers expressed appreciation and demonstrated cooperation to assure their workers a safe and healthy workplace.
