Michigan OSHA Law

Understanding MIOSHA Law and How We Can Help.

The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) plays a critical role in ensuring safe and healthy workplaces across the state. For construction companies, compliance with MIOSHA regulations is not optional—violations can have a tragic consequence in terms of personal injury and loss of life. Violations can also result in fines, operational disruptions, and potential damage to your company’s reputation.

At its core, MIOSHA ensures adherence to safety standards through the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act and related administrative rules known as Construction Safety and Health Standards. These standards, rules, and laws create a complex framework in which to navigate. Hilger Hammond can help navigate this framework through:

  • Citation Appeals: Contesting MIOSHA citations, particularly those that are unwarranted or pose significant business risks. It’s important to act swiftly – appeals must be filed within 15 business days.
  • Dispute Resolution: Representing your interests during investigations and working to resolve disputes efficiently and effectively.
  • Being a Trusted Partner: Helping you navigate the complex administrative process for dealing with MIOSHA and any resulting citations.
  • A Proactive Approach: Training your personnel on what to expect from a MIOSHA visit and how to properly respond.

Whether you’re facing an immediate citation or want to proactively safeguard your operations, our tailored MIOSHA legal services are designed to protect your workers and your business.
