The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) has issued workplace guidelines for employers and employees and created a new hotline, 855-SAFEC19 (855-723-3219), to answer guideline questions and protect Michigan workers from COVID. The new hotline will utilize experienced MIOSHA staff to answer questions from employers and workers.
