 Join us March 6-12 to celebrate women in the construction industry!
Women in Construction Week serves as an annual opportunity to highlight women as a viable component of the construction industry and to raise awareness of the opportunities available for women throughout all skilled trades.
Over the past few years, the construction industry has faced a massive labor deficiency. One way to help address this is to encourage women to enter the construction industry. Although some don’t associate women with construction in the way that they should, by taking time to highlight women's roles in construction, there’s an opportunity to promote conversation about all types of diversity in the trades.
Many of the MIOSHA partnerships, alliances and co-sponsors have events to promote women in the trades this month and throughout the year. To learn more about how your workplace can participate, visit the National Association of Women in Construction or Women in Skilled Trades.
MIOSHA and Alpena Community College invite employers and employees to share a cup of coffee (and donuts!) and learn about the importance of workplace safety and health.
Coffee with MIOSHA events provide an informal opportunity for employers and employees to meet with MIOSHA representatives — including consultative and enforcement — to ask questions, obtain information on program services and resources, learn about MIOSHA Training Institute opportunities and establish rapport.
WHO: All Michigan employers and employees (Note: this event has a construction and general industry emphasis)
WHAT: Coffee with MIOSHA
WHEN: Tuesday, March 8, 2022, 8-9:30 AM

Don't forget — Michigan employers are required to post the total number of job-related injuries and illnesses that occurred in 2021. This information helps employers, workers and MIOSHA in evaluating the safety of a workplace and making the necessary changes to eliminate hazards.
MIOSHA requires most Michigan employers with 11 or more employees to log and maintain these records and make sure they are available in the event of an investigation.
These records include:
In accordance with this requirement, employers must post the MIOSHA Form 300A in their establishments from Feb. 1 to April 30, 2022.
You can find additional recordkeeping information, including general guidelines, forms and FAQs, on the MIOSHA website at www.michigan.gov/recordkeeping.

To date, there have been two work-related fatalities reported to MIOSHA in 2022. The information below shares preliminary details about the most recent fatalities reported to MIOSHA which are believed to be covered by the MIOSH Act. The description reflects information provided to MIOSHA at the initial report of the incident and is not the result of the official MIOSHA investigation.
Preliminary summaries of the most recent 2022 incidents:
A 29-year-old steel laborer was operating an extendable boom forklift to pick up pre-insulated metal panels when he leaned through the cab and was crushed by the lift boom.
A 61-year-old loader operator had a hydraulic line break. As he attempted to replace the hydraulic line, he loosened the wrong line and the load came down on him, crushing him against the axle.
Every life is precious. Our mutual goal must be that every employee goes home at the end of every shift unharmed.
