PREPAREDNESS PLAN / TEMPLATE - NEW

If you still haven't written your preparedness file, we have a new template available to you. This includes specific recommendations from the Small Business Association of Michigan, by industry. This has been updated to include more information for Bars, Restaurants, Salons, Outdoor businesses, and a few more! Download for FREE ...
You must have a plan on file. Each of your employees need to be trained on every operation you are doing to protect them and your customers. Records must be kept on training, and if MiOSHA reviews your business, they will want to see this plan. It must be available 2-weeks from the time you open your doors.

RESOLUTION PASSES CITY COUNCIL

BELLEVILLE, MI

allowing outdoor cafes adjacent to dining establishments. This is being done to assist one of the hardest hit industries due to the Covid shutdowns, and stay at home orders. With capacity limited to 50% indoors, this will allow our hospitality industry the ability to increase their capacity while keeping patrons safe.
YOUR Chamber, Mayor, City Manager, Planning Commissioner, City Council, DDA, and local businesses worked together expediting this resolution. The City will be ready next week when the bars and restaurants can open again.

These bills are paving the way for Michigan to catch up to neighboring states, as well as provide safer ways to entertain in the era of Covid. Call, write, email, or carrier pigeon your state reps to immediately pass these bills!
