Bill overview
This bill removes a specific section of Michigan’s Occupational Safety and Health Act that prevented the state from creating rules about workplace ergonomics. The repealed section, MCL 408.1017, effectively blocked the development of regulations designed to improve worker safety and comfort related to workstation design and practices. By repealing this section, the state now has the authority to establish ergonomics standards for workplaces.
