MIOSHAMIOSHA Implements New Injury Reporting Requirements 
Beginning September 1st, MIOSHA has implemented the new injury reporting requirements in response to the changes federal OSHA made effective January 1, 2015. Employers in the state of Michigan will be required to report any work-related amputation, loss of an eye, or in-patient hospitalization of any employee, within 24 hours of the incident. Currently, employers must report the work-related in-patient hospitalization of three or more employees.

Employers can go to the MIOSHA Recordkeeping website to report an in-patient hospitalization, amputation, or loss of an eye incident or call the new injury report line: (844) 464-6742. This system should NOT be used for reporting work-related fatalities. All work-related fatalities must still be reported within eight hours to the current fatality line: (800) 858-0397.

If you have any questions, please contact MIOSHA Information Services Section staff: (517) 284-7788.

GiffelsCAM Member Giffels Webster Celebrates 20 Years in Detroit

Giffels Webster, a Detroit-headquartered consulting firm, celebrated its 20th anniversary in the city in August 2015. The firm, which offers a broad scope of civil engineering, surveying, planning and landscape architectural services, has dedicated itself to the revitalization of the city and the region by providing forward-thinking solutions focused on improving overall quality of life.
 
"Our move downtown in 1995 was considered risky at that time," said Scott Clein, PE, LEED, AP, president of Giffels Webster, "but it helped us establish the deep connections throughout southeast Michigan. We have learned that what we do is really secondary to the fact that we can, and do, positively impact people's lives every day.  We're passionate about improving quality of life in Detroit and other communities, alike."
 
Giffels Webster moved to Detroit with a passion for building communities and a plan to diversify its service offerings. It has since used its holistic approach to help bring the city's aging infrastructure into the 21st century, rejuvenate neglected private buildings and public spaces, and has co-developed major initiatives such as the city's non-motorized transportation plan.

Key Detroit projects and places impacted by Giffels Webster's expertise include:   Comerica Park and Ford Field; Brush Park; Garden Theatre and Woodward Garden Apartments; Southwest Detroit Greenlink; The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit; Campus Martius; Detroit Medical Center Pediatric Specialty Center; David Whitney Building; Dozens of Residential Developments in Capital Park, Midtown and the CBD; Whole Foods Detroit; "the Z" Parking Garage.
