SB 830 amends the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act to update definitions and administrative procedures related to workplace safety. The bill clarifies terms such as "agricultural operations," "construction operations," and "friable asbestos," while also establishing specific rules for identifying authorized employee representatives in safety proceedings. It requires the Department of Labor and the Department of Public Health to report annually to the legislature on how they coordinate their overlapping enforcement responsibilities. Additionally, the legislation repeals a previous section of the act to remove outdated provisions from the state's health and safety code.
