Whether your company is building its safety and health program from the ground up or has a long track record of workplace safety and health excellence, you can take advantage of a cooperative relationship with MIOSHA to protect your workforce and your bottom line.
MIOSHA's cooperative and recognition programs follow a graduated approach — starting with employers that require the greatest help and scaling up to those that proactively institute safety and health best practices.
Find the program that meets your workplace wherever it stands on work safety.
If your workplace is looking to implement a winning strategy that will support your employees’ safety and health and your company’s bottom line, the Michigan Challenge Program can help by offering employers an opportunity to develop an effective safety and health management system during a three-year cooperative agreement and commitment with MIOSHA, with a six-month deferral from programmed inspections.

The Consultation Education and Training – or CET – Awards recognize excellent safety performance achievements of employers and employees. Awards are given to companies who achieved outstanding safety and health records and have implemented an effective safety and health management system, with the greatest weight placed on proactive safety indicators (participation on safety committees, conducting self-inspections, reporting near-misses, thorough root cause analyses, etc.)

Priority is given to companies on the MIOSHA list of high-hazard industries or those that are part of MIOSHA's strategic plan to help them develop, implement and continuously improve the effectiveness of their workplace safety and health management system.
When you participate in MSHARP, you'll get assistance from MIOSHA's Onsite Consultation Program to become self-sufficient in managing occupational safety and health, plus your workplace will get feedback on best practices and be offered an incentive of 12-month exemption from regular scheduled MIOSHA inspections.
