Office of Regulatory Reinvention (ORR) Approves Proposed Amendments to Construction Safety Standards - Part 10 - Lifting & Digging Equipment

7/16/2012

 
On June 13, 2012, the ORR approved the proposed amendments to the Construction Safety Standards - Part 10 - Lifting & Digging Equipment. A copy of the proposed amendments can be found here. MIOSHA has published a fact sheet highlighting the proposed changes to Part 10.

Federal OSHA's new crane standard became effective in November of 2010 and the law requires state plans to be at least as effective as the federal standards. Until the amendments to Part 10 of the Construction Safety Standards are completed, MIOSHA requires compliance with the current Part 10 Standard. According to MIOSHA's Fact Sheet, "[w]hen serious hazards not covered by the current Michigan rules are identified, MIOSHA would be required to use the General Duty Clause to address those hazards.
