MIOSHA trumpets Ambassador Program for employers
United States | Publication | April 2022
Michigan’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) has released a video to discuss its Ambassador Program for employers. Under the program, an employer may seek a voluntary consultation with a MIOSHA representative to identify and address specific conditions in the workplace.
Originally formed to assist employers in their efforts to protect workers from COVID-19 risks, the Ambassador Program is expected to expand into other areas so that the primary goal of ensuring employee health and safety can be achieved. MIOSHA emphasizes that the program is not designed to identify hazards for the purpose of issuing citations, but to work collegially with employers to eliminate or mitigate potentially problematic conditions. In particular, via the conduct of its Tier 1 and Tier 2 consultations (explained in the video), MIOSHA wants to assist employers in recognizing hazards they might not know exist in the first instance.
