This course will provide an overview of both the construction and general industry rules related to confined spaces and permit-required confined spaces. Examples of actual spaces will be used to clarify the definition and facilitate proper identification of confined spaces versus permit-required confined spaces. The three means of entering a permit-required confined space are described in Part 35, 90, and 490. These will be discussed along with their correct implementation. This course also includes an introduction to the principles of air monitoring and ventilation of confined and permit-required confined spaces.

Class will meet April 29-May 1, 2025 (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday), and then again from May 20-22, 2025 (again on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday).

This is a six day course designed for students who have not taken any MTI courses previously and have an interest in improving their knowledge of safety and health in the workplace. Level One courses are designed for safety and health coordinators, committee members, and others interested in general safety and health information. Level One allows the participant to begin the process of developing a safety and health program while becoming familiar with MIOSHA Standards and other relevant topics. Upon successful completion of the Boot Camp, participants will earn the MTI Level One General Industry Safety and Health certificate and the OSHA General Industry 10-Hour card.

The goal of this one day program is to provide participants reasons why incident investigation is important, discuss the different aspects of an investigation, and practicing techniques for determining the root cause of incidents. The training will include class discussions and exercises, with small group breakout sessions for case studies and other activities.

Participants Will:

Define Common Terms Used in Incident Investigations.

Explain the Need to Investigate Incidents.

Discuss the Tools Necessary to Properly Complete Investigations.

Four Techniques for Conducting an Investigation.

Understand the MIOSHA Injury and Illness Reporting Requirements.

Explain the Benefits of Incident Investigations.

This 10-hour program presents an overview of MIOSHA regulations for the construction industry. Detailed information is presented to enable the participant to develop an accident prevention plan as required by Rule 114 of MIOSHA Construction Safety Standard Part 1, General Rules. An overview of MIOSHA inspection procedures is presented, as well as the most frequently cited MIOSHA violations in the construction industry. Participants gain detailed information regarding construction and health standards relative to the industry. Emphasis will be placed on recognizing hazards and describing safe work practices to eliminate or control those hazards. Students will receive both MIOSHA and OSHA 10-hour cards upon successful completion of the class. Virtual classroom with an in-person instructor. This training format can be taken from the office, home, or remotely.

This full-day course is designed for general industry participants, (maintenance, safety and health professionals, and management personnel). This seminar familiarizes the participant with various types of common machinery and the related safety hazards. The course enables participants to recognize hazards such as those created by points of operations, rotating parts, and flying chips, while providing options for achieving abatement.

Attendees at this training will review the MIOSHA Part 45, Construction Safety Standard for Fall Protection including the latest OSHA and MIOSHA interpretations. Examination of recent fatal falls in construction and discussion of the latest fall protection techniques for construction will be covered. This class will also cover fall exposures for residential construction and MIOSHA fall protection criteria.
