Under the Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), the state program is operated by the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA), has different functional Health Divisions for Construction and General Industry to conduct investigations, discharge citations for safety violations and safety complaints.

 

The category of workers that fall under the Jurisdiction of Federal OSHA is as follows:

 

• Federal employment
• U.S Postal USPS Service facilities and Private USPS contractor-operated facilities 
• All Maritime operations except construction (which is covered by MIOSHA)
• Employers registered as members of Indian tribes and those who handle companies within the vicinity of an Indian reservation
• Working environment of aircraft cabin crew members aboard aircraft in function

 

When enrolling in a training program, Michiganians should consider Federal OSHA Jurisdiction because most of Michigan’s Standards vary from the Federal Standards. The recruiters under the Jurisdiction of MIOSH must train their employees per the Michigan Standards. It also grants relevant advisory services to employees upon request.

 

Since the training obligations of Federal OSHA are based on particular health and safety standards related to job functions, OSHA recommends training on OSHA Outreach Training courses, respectively OSHA 10 Hour course for amateur workers and OSHA 30 Hour for workers with supervisory roles.
