Michigan Safety Program for Demolition Contractors
Requirements
Michigan requires employers to maintain a written Accident Prevention Program under MIOSHA. This applies to demolition contractor operations including building demolition, pre-demolition engineering surveys, lead and asbestos exposure. MIOSHA enforces these requirements through inspections.
What Your Accident Prevention Program Must Cover
For demolition contractor, your safety program must address the specific hazards of your operations. This includes hazard identification procedures, employee training requirements, incident investigation protocols, and documentation of safety inspections. Michigan-specific citations and requirements are built into every section.
Trade-Specific Hazards
Demolition Contractor operations involve building demolition, pre-demolition engineering surveys, lead and asbestos exposure. Your safety program must identify these hazards, prescribe controls, and document training for each one. Generic templates miss the trade-specific requirements that MIOSHA inspectors look for.
Additional Programs You May Need
Depending on your specific operations, Michigan demolition contractors may also need a Hazard Communication Program (29 CFR 1910.1200), Fall Protection Plan (29 CFR 1926.502(k)), and Emergency Action Plan (29 CFR 1910.38).
