OSHA
and MIOSHA News
Pathfinder
Associates is a safety consulting firm specializing in OSHA and
MIOSHA regulations, compliance products, seminars, and software.
MIOSHA
Important
Note: When OSHA adopts a new Safety Standard, MIOSHA has 6 months
to adopt an identical or more strict rule. With the Bloodborne
Pathogens Standard, Hazard Communication Standard, and dozens
of other rules, MIOSHA has packed in additional requirements.
In fact, you can be in total compliance with a particular OSHA
Standard and still be fined by MIOSHA if you haven’t implemented
the additional requirements they've mandated! For more information visit: e-MIOSHA.com
