The Christman Company (Christman), Daniels Building Co., Inc. (Daniels), the Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs (LARA), the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA), and partnering subcontractors signed a formal partnership recently with the goal of enhanced safety and health protection, and zero worker injuries during the construction of the state's new State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC).

 

"MIOSHA is pleased to once again partner with Christman and for the first time, Daniels, in what is the agency's pilot level three construction partnership," said MIOSHA Director Martha Yoder. "This designation signifies Christman's prior MIOSHA partnership experience and long-standing record of safety and health, as well as the expectation that both companies, which are jointly serving as the project's general contractor, act as mentors to other partnering companies in the future." 

 

The new SEOC, which will be used by the state of Michigan to coordinate emergencies and disasters with local, state and federal agencies, is a $22 million project consisting of a 27,000-square-foot addition to the General Office Building located at 7150 Harris Drive in Dimondale. It will also include 37,000 square feet of renovations to two floors of the building adjacent to the new addition.

 

The building's hardened design complies with Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requirements and will be built to withstand strong storms and tornadoes.The project began November 10, 2014 and is expected to be completed by December 30, 2015.

 

Signing partners included MIOSHA Director Martha Yoder; Christman Vice President and Safety Director Don Staley; Senior Vice President John Holmstrom; Project Superintendent Robert Winquist; Daniels President Michael Daniels; and 42 subcontractors working on the project.  

Partnerships are an important emphasis in the MIOSHA Strategic Plan to improve the health and safety of workers through cooperative relationships; they move away from traditional enforcement methods and embrace collaborative agreements.

 

"We are honored to have been selected to take part in this first-ever level three safety partnership," said Don Staley, Christman vice president and safety director. "We take seriously the challenge to not only commit to the success of the SEOC project, but to commit to improving the effectiveness of the use of a job hazard analysis, a leading industry wide safety planning tool, and mentoring other companies in the future."

 

All partners agree to commit their leadership, time and resources to achieve this valuable goal.

 

The active integration of the safety and health programs of Christman and Daniels, along with the partnership with the subcontractors and MIOSHA, will endorse the ultimate goal of zero unsafe conditions and work practices. As a level three partnership, the primary goals are limited in scope to a specific focus. 

 

The partnership does not preclude MIOSHA from enforcing its mission of addressing complaints, fatalities, or serious accidents, nor does it infringe on the rights of employees to report workplace hazards.
