WHAT CAN CET DO FOR YOU?
MIOSHA's Consultation Education and Training (CET)
Division offers free statewide safety and health assistance to employers and
employees. A staff of experienced, professional occupational safety experts,
construction safety consultants and industrial hygienists can provide a wide
range of customized services.
WE
VISIT
A CET consultant can schedule a visit to your workplace to conduct a free
MIOSHA inspection with no citations and no penalties. Our
experienced professionals will help you identify hazards in your workplace.
Together we can tour your facility to suggest ways you can create a safer and
healthier environment for your workers. A deferral from programmed enforcement
inspections is provided during the time employers are working proactively with
MIOSHA to survey and correct hazards.
WE
TEACH
We can teach you and your employees how to identify and correct safety and
health hazards at your workplace. Other training services provide information
about MIOSHA standards and recordkeeping. We also offer "how to" programs on a
variety of topics such as developing a safety committee, safe lifting
techniques, accident investigation, lockout procedures, machine guarding,
noise, and confined spaces, to name a few.
WE RECOGNIZE
MIOSHA offers many opportunities for safety and health recognition. The Michigan
Challenge Program (MCP) is designed for companies that have above
average injury and illness rates. Employers who accept the challenge can work
with CET consultants to develop a safety and health management system. The
highest-level awards are the Michigan Voluntary Protection Program (MVPP)
and the Michigan Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (MSHARP).
Also, achievements such as "no lost time" or ergonomic innovations provide
other avenues to be recognized. A CET consultant can provide assistance to help
you achieve MIOSHA recognition.
WE CERTIFY
MIOSHA offers certification for attending specified workshops and seminars
through the MIOSHA Training Institute (MTI). Certificate programs
are available for General Industry Safety and Health as well as Construction
Safety and Health. These seminars and workshops are offered throughout the
state in partnership with other safety and health organizations, community
colleges and associations. In addition to MTI courses, you can attend other CET
Division seminars and workshops on relevant safety and health topics. For a
more in-depth description of courses offered, please visit our website at www.michigan.gov/mioshatraining.
WE SUPPORT
We support your safety and health efforts with a variety of material. An
extensive Publications Library offers a wide range of occupational safety and
health materials designed to increase safety and health awareness, including:
posters, stickers, brochures, permits, and fact sheets. These materials are all
located on the MIOSHA website and are just a mouse click away. For more
information on our publications, please visit www.michigan.gov/mioshapublications.
We also offer more than 150 different safety and health videos are available
for free loan on a wide range of topics. The only charge is the cost of
returning the borrowed videos. You can also view our video catalog online at www.michigan.gov/mioshavideos.
WE CONNECT
MIOSHA connects with industry for the betterment of the workplace through Partnerships
and Alliances. These formal agreements offer an opportunity to
work closely with MIOSHA to promote dialogue, conduct outreach efforts to
promote worker safety and health, and share best practices. Partnerships
include the opportunity for non-traditional enforcement strategies. Alliances
are developed to focus on education and outreach activities, and do not include
enforcement inspection activities.
