“Protecting Michigan’s working men and women requires continual innovation and training in the workplace,” said LEO Deputy Director Sean Egan. “These grants help ensure more businesses across the state can provide critical training and services to protect working people across a wide range of industries.”
Projects that received a training grant include targeted safety and health training in high-hazard industries such as healthcare and manufacturing, training for implementing silica exposure control methods in the construction industry and safety and health training for community rehabilitation organizations and workers with disabilities or other barriers to community inclusion, among others.
“Each year, MIOSHA looks forward to awarding these grants to employer groups, labor organizations and other nonprofits for their exemplary safety and health training programs,” said MIOSHA Director Bart Pickelman. “Every grantee plays an important role in expanding occupational safety and health training and developing innovative programs to prevent workplace hazards across Michigan.”
