Accreditation System upgrade coming soon!
MIOSHA is updating our accreditation and licensing system, going to an online self-service model with online payment options. The new system will include electronic notification for renewals and 24/7 access to your account information including your payment and accreditation history. You will receive more communications on this including any instructions and informational sessions as we get closer to our rollout date. Once the new system comes online, login will be done through the MiLogin Portal - https://milogin.michigan.gov. It’s anticipated the new system will go live in 2026. Until that time, continue to use this site, www.michigan.gov/asbestos, for online accreditation renewals, and stay tuned for further updates.
Please note: The new system will require a unique email for each account. If you currently share an email address for both your individual accreditation and your company please prepare to have a separate email address for each account. Additionally, if the email address we have on file is a shared address with your employer or other organization this will also need to be corrected prior to you being able to access the new system.
The MIOSHA Asbestos Program was initiated in September of 1986. The primary function of the program is to assure that the people working with asbestos are properly trained and the individuals performing asbestos removal comply with rules governing the work activity. These rules are designed to protect not only the individual employee performing asbestos abatement work, but also the general public that occupy the area or building in which the work occurs.
The Asbestos Program is responsible for enforcement of the Asbestos Abatement Contractors Licensing Act (Act 135, P.A. 1986, as amended), the Asbestos Workers Accreditation Act (Act 440, P.A. 1988, as amended), and for meeting the state of Michigan's mandated responsibilities under the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Asbestos Hazard Emergency Response Act (AHERA). The program also enforces asbestos issues related to the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act (MIOSHA) (Act 154, P.A. 1974, as amended).
Fund Sources
Fund sources are from fees submitted for the approval of asbestos training courses, asbestos worker accreditation fees, asbestos contractor licensing fees, and asbestos abatement project notification fees.
