All the operations, personnel, employers, and other things that MIOSHA does not cover are covered by federal OSHA jurisdiction. Additionally, Federal OSHA still adheres to anti-retaliation clauses. In order to prevent retaliation, Federal OSHA supervises and regulates inspections.
The state’s general industry is inspected by the General Industry Safety and Health Division. The Construction Safety and Health Division of MIOSHA also conducts safety and health inspections at construction sites.
