Michigan Emergency Rules Require COVID-19 Employee Training

 

MIOSHA COVID-19 Emergency Rules 

Require Employee Training 

On October 14, 2020, the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) issued Emergency Rules implementing COVID-19 workplace safety requirements for businesses that resume in-person work, including employee training.

MIOSHA adopted the Emergency Rules in response to the Michigan Supreme Court’s recent decision invalidating the Governor’s COVID-19 Executive Orders. The Emergency Rules are effective immediately and for six months thereafter.

The Emergency Rules incorporate the workplace safety requirements found in the now invalid Executive Order 2020-114, including the workplace training mandate.

The Emergency Rules require COVID-19 employee training include:

• Workplace infection-control practices
• The proper use of personal protection equipment (PPE)
• How employees with COVID-19 notify their employer
• How to report unsafe working conditions

A variety of general workplace provisions applicable to all employers are adopted in the Emergency Rules, as well as industry-specific requirements, including training, job hazard assessments, COVID-19 preparedness and response plan, adoption of basic infection prevention measures, social distancing, face coverings, employee screening, and recordkeeping.
