[Michlib-l] MIOSHA Extension of Emergency Rules

[Debbie Mikula]

The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) has extended its emergency rules until October 14, 2021. (NOTE: the emergency rules can be modified or withdrawn at any time in response to changes in COVID-19 spread.)

Under the emergency rules, employers must continue to implement policies that require remote work for employees where remote work is feasible, to help ensure that COVID-19 transmission is mitigated to the maximum extent possible. While in-person work is permitted when remote work is not feasible, remote work is recommended as a strategy to minimize in-person contacts and is included in guidance from the CDC and Federal OSHA to protect employees in the workplace.

The rules establish workplace safety requirements and employers should coordinate these requirements with the MDHHS Emergency Order restricting gathering sizes, requiring face coverings in public spaces and childcare facilities, placing capacity limitations on stores, bars and other public venues and providing safer workplaces.
