The 2008 "Michigan Manufacturers' Guide to Environmental, Health, and Safety Regulations" is a joint publication of the Michigan Departments of Environmental Quality and Labor and Economic Growth. Manufacturers, suppliers, consultants, and regulators can all benefit from this guide, which steers the reader through the maze of state and federal environmental, health, and safety regulatory programs. Although some reference is made to local building and fire codes, local requirements are not discussed in the guidebook in any detail. Be sure to contact your local government officials for information on applicable local requirements.
The guidebook is subdivided into three main sections: environmental regulations, Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act (MIOSHA) standards, and construction and fire codes. Each chapter within each section targets a specific regulatory program. This Web site contains a complete version of the guidebook and allows you to download it by chapter.
The "Self-Assessment Survey" is a tool you can use to find which regulations are applicable to your specific operation. Simply answer each question in the survey "yes" or "no" to be directed to the portions of the book relevant to your business.
