State-specific OSHA guidelines: Michigan
United States | Publication | April 2021
As Michigan ramps up COVID vaccine distribution, more employers and workers are preparing to return to in-person office work in some form. To support this process, the State has established the new Return-to-Office Workgroup consisting of business, labor and public health experts to provide Gov. Whitmer with concise recommendations that will be used to inform MDHHS orders and MIOSHA rules, as well as standards and best practices for employers to use in planning their own phased reopening.
The advisory group will meet weekly and provide ongoing guidance. Guidelines are constantly evolving as the health environment improves and the new group will be engaged in those changes and be a key advisor. The State of Michigan will also consult state legislators regarding the phased-in return to in-person office work.
MIOSHA is also beginning the formal rulemaking process for COVID workplace safety rules in order to accommodate a smooth transition back to normal once the pandemic ends.
