LANSING, MI — The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) inspected and issued COVID-19 emergency rule or general duty citations to 16 different workplaces across the state, including one in Delhi Township.
Spartan Precision Machining Inc. in Holt was fined $2,800 for violations of the emergency rules for COVID-19 workplace safety requirements including not developing and implementing a written COVID-19 preparedness and response plan. In addition the Delhi Township company did not conduct daily entry self-screen protocols and require employees consistantly maintain 6 feet of separation.
MIOSHA said the inspection of the company, located at 2200 Depot St. in Holt, was initiated in response to an employee complaint.
Under MIOSHA’s Emergency Rules, businesses that resume in-person work must, among other things, have a written COVID-19 preparedness and response plan and provide thorough training to their employees that covers, at a minimum, workplace infection-control practices, the proper use of personal protection equipment (PPE), and steps workers must take to notify the business or operation of any symptoms of COVID-19 or a suspected or confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19. An emergency rule citation carries a fine of up to $7,000.
