“Take a Stand Day”August 14, 2019

MIOSHA INVITES EMPLOYERS ACROSS MICHIGAN TO “TAKE A STAND” FOR WORKPLACE SAFETY AND HEALTH

“Take a Stand Day” (TASD) is a unique opportunity for employers to bolster their workplace safety and health by requesting a free consultative visit from the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) with NO CITATIONS or PENALTIES. Since the first TASD, more than 2,500 employers have participated. This year, you can too!

This year MIOSHA continues its highly successful STOP FALLS. SAVE LIVES. campaign, as MIOSHA remains strongly committed to reducing worker deaths by falls. On August 14, 2019, MIOSHA compliance and consultation staff will visit Michigan worksites to focus on fall prevention, as well as address other specific hazards/areas as requested by the employer. To participate, employers must agree to correct all serious conditions.

First-time participants and small employers are especially encouraged to submit a TASD request to address safety and health hazards at their worksite. However, employers are reminded that MIOSHA’s Consultation Education and Training Division offers free safety and health assistance year-round. To learn more, visit michigan.gov/cet.

Submit a request electronically at michigan.gov/mioshatasd, or call the Lansing office at517-284-7720 or 800-866-4674. You will be contacted prior to the date for scheduling.
