FW: PRESS RELEASE: Gov. Whitmer Takes Action to Help Michiganders Get Back to Work Safely
by Membiela, Clare (MDE) 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

Please see information below. Michigan employers still have a duty under MCL 408.1011 http://legislature.mi.gov/doc.aspx?mcl-408-1011 to mitigate risk and protect workers from "known " workplace hazards. Covid-19 id a "known" hazard. Libraries should review the OSHA and CDC guidance linked in the notice below and consult their attorneys to determine if a risk exists and to create policies to best protect their employees. We will provide additional resources and information as we obtain them. Thanks! Clare From: Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity <LEO(a)govsubscriptions.michigan.gov> Sent: Tuesday, June 22, 2021 9:18 AM To: Membiela, Clare (MDE) <MembielaC(a)michigan.gov> Subject: PRESS RELEASE: Gov. Whitmer Takes Action to Help Michiganders Get Back to Work Safely MIOSHA updates COVID-19 emergency rules to align with Federal OSHA [LEO Banner] --- PRESS RELEASE --- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, June 22, 2021 CONTACT: Camara Lewis<mailto:lewisc16@michigan.gov> <mailto:olsend1@michigan.gov>517-930-4928 Gov. Whitmer takes action to help Michiganders get back to work safely MIOSHA updates COVID-19 emergency rules to align with Federal OSHA LANSING, Mich.-Today, the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) filed COVID-19 emergency rules<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> to align with Federal OSHA's Emergency Temporary Standard<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> (ETS). The updated rules are effective today and set to expire Dec. 22, 2021. The rules rescind the emergency rules issued on May 24, 2021 and focus on health care. The updated MIOSHA emergency rules adopt the Federal OSHA ETS and focus on health care settings where known or suspected COVID-19 patients may be present. These workplaces may have a higher exposure risk for employees and need continued protections to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. "As we continue to get Michigan back to work, our priority remains keeping workplaces safe for employees and protecting customers as they support these businesses," said Governor Whitmer. "With our state at full capacity, we can boost our economic Jumpstart and ensure businesses can emerge from the pandemic stronger than ever while keeping their workers safe." Dialing back workplace rules for non-health care settings allows employers to use their best judgment in determining whether to maintain: * Daily health screenings; * Face covering requirements; and * Social distancing requirements. Nevertheless, MIOSHA strongly encourages workplaces to follow the available CDC and OSHA recommendations to mitigate hazards. MIOSHA has a duty to protect Michigan workers and the agency's emergency rules have provided employers and employees with the guidance and certainty they needed to stay safe. These updated rules demonstrate that the agency has the flexibility it needs to ensure consistency with federal OSHA. Non-healthcare settings should align policies with CDC guidelines<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> to ensure they help contain the spread of COVID-19. Federal OSHA has updated guidance<https://gcc02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flnks.gd%2…> for non-healthcare employers as well. "These updates recognize the great progress we have made in Michigan to contain COVID-19 and the power of vaccinations. We will continue to provide critical workplace protections more focused on areas of increased COVID-19 risk," said Michigan COVID-19 Workplace Safety Director Sean Egan. "In non-health care settings, it's important that all employers recognize that they have a general duty to provide a safe workplace." To request MIOSHA'S consultation, education and training services, call 517-284-7720 or online at MIOSHA Request for Consultative Assistance<https://gcc01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?data=04%7C01%7Csaylort%40mi…>.
