MIOSHA Training Institute
MIOSHA/CET #0160 (8/1/24)
Protecting the Safety and Health of Michigan’s Workers
Since 2007 MIOSHA Consultation Education and Training (CET) Division and Macomb Community College (Macomb)
have partnered on the MIOSHA Training Institute (MTI). Employers, employees, and other interested parties can benefit
from attending seminars through the MTI. The MTI reaches out, educates, and leads the state’s employers and
employees in improving and advancing workplace safety and health.
MTI Certificate Program
The certificate program offers participants an opportunity to be recognized for their educational efforts and increased
technical expertise. Participants can achieve Level One and Level Two certificates in General Industry/Construction
Safety and Health, Safety and Health Management Systems (SHMS), and Occupational Health. Attending MTI seminars
may qualify an employer for “good faith” credits during a MIOSHA inspection which may lead to a reduction in penalties.
Seminars are offered throughout the state in sponsorship with other Michigan Technical Education Centers
SM
,
community colleges, and safety and health organizations at a reasonable cost. Participants can select and attend
MTI seminars at any cosponsored location. All participants who successfully complete a course will become part of the
MTI database managed by Macomb. Participants are under no obligation to pursue certificate program requirements.
Level One Certificate Programs
Many Level One courses are designed for new 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 SHMS
while becoming familiar with MIOSHA Standards and other relevant topics.
To achieve the certificate, participants in the General Industry Safety and Health track must successfully complete four
courses, of which OSHA General Industry 10-Hour and Recommended Practices for Safety and Health Programs
are required, along with two electives from General Industry Level One courses, within three years. Participants in the
Construction Safety and Health track must successfully complete seven courses of which OSHA Construction 10-Hour,
MIOSHA Construction Part 45 – Fall Protection, and Health Hazards in Construction are required along with four
other electives from Construction Level One courses, within three years. All seminar dates and locations are listed in the
training calendar at www.michigan.gov/mioshatraining.
Level Two Certificate Programs
Three certificate programs will be offered in Level Two. The Safety and Health Management Systems
certificate will provide in-depth information on the administration and management of workplace safety and
health systems. This program is designed for those with responsibility for implementing these systems.
Participants will be required to take six core courses to obtain this certificate. A Level One or Occupational
Health certificate must be achieved prior to the award of a Level Two Safety and Health Management Systems
certificate.
The General Industry compliance certificate requires four core courses and five electives. The Construction
compliance certificate requires that participants successfully pass any eight courses not previously taken from
the Construction track. There is no time limit for completing a Level Two certificate. A Level One certificate
must be achieved prior to the award of a Level Two compliance certificate.
Occupational Health Certificate Program
The Occupational Health certificate is offered to those participants who successfully complete four required
health courses and two electives from the health track. Successful completion of the designated health courses
on a previous Progress Log/Application Form prior to March 3, 2023, will count towards the completion of the
Occupational Health Certificate.
