Cross-Citing Hazards in a Different Discipline or Division
Executive Summary
The General Industry Safety and Health Division and the Construction Safety and Health
Division convened a workgroup to develop guidelines for Industrial Hygienists and Safety
Officers when alleging violations of each other’s program focus, i.e. safety citing health rules or
vice versa; or construction citing general industry rules or vice versa. This instruction includes
the policy for citing simple, common hazards and for more complex hazards, procedures for
identifying, and addressing imminent danger and fatality situations.

Definitions:
CROSS-CITING: The practice of one discipline or division citing a rule routinely cited
by another discipline or division. Examples: General industry safety citing a general
industry health rule or vice versa. Construction safety citing a construction health rule or
vice versa. General industry citing a construction rule or vice versa.
DISCIPLINE: This term refers to the area of expertise of compliance staff. MIOSHA
includes two disciplines, occupational safety and occupational health compliance.

Cross-Citing Hazards in a Different Discipline or Division
INTRA-OFFICE ASSISTANCE (IOA): This term applies to an inspection that is
initially opened by either a safety or health compliance officer in the same division and
the officer opening the inspection determines that assistance is needed from a compliance
officer of the other enforcement discipline. In GISHD an intra-office assistance request
can be made when the initiating (lead) compliance officer determines that a serious
hazard related to the other enforcement discipline (i.e., health/safety or safety/health)
must be evaluated. In the CSHD the assistance request is typically made by the safety or
health compliance officer contacting the other enforcement discipline directly. An intraoffice assistance request may result in a joint inspection.
JOINT INSPECTION: An inspection that is jointly conducted by a safety officer and an
industrial hygienist with the intent of covering both safety and health issues.
ONE-MIOSHA INSPECTIONS: Inspections that require participation of a compliance
officer from the GISHD and a compliance officer from CSHD.

Background. All MIOSHA activity must focus on meeting the overall agency goal of
helping protect the health and safety of Michigan workers. For more than twenty years,
MIOSHA has used staff in the most effective and efficient manner possible to accomplish
the program mission.
Prior to the agency consolidation under Executive Orders 1996-1, the MIOSHA program
was split in two different state departments. Safety issues were addressed by the
Department of Labor. Health issues were addressed by the Department of Public Health.
To make the best use of staff presence in the workplace, several documents were created
for collecting information relative to a violation of the other discipline. Safety officers
(SO) and industrial hygienists (IH) collected information that was provided to the sister
agency and used as the basis to issue a citation.
When the program merged into one department, guidance from the Attorney General and
the Department Executive Director indicated that properly trained MIOSHA enforcement
staff has the authority to conduct an inspection and develop the basis for the issuance of a
citation, regardless of which commission promulgated the MIOSHA standard.
Since the MIOSHA reorganization in September 2003, staff has cited hazards and
conditions in the other discipline when training and equipment has been provided.
Examples include Bloodborne Infectious Diseases in general industry, and lead and
asbestos bulk sampling in construction. The intent is that both safety and health will
identify and address less complicated issues during inspections and investigations.

MIOSHA–COM–11-1
January 24, 2011
Cross-Citing Hazards in a Different Discipline or Division
MIOSHA will respect the provisions of the bargaining unit agreements with the MSEA
and the MPE Union. In no way does MIOSHA intend to diminish the expertise or
complex technical skills required to respond to most issues by staff from the specific
program areas covered by the rule or requirement.
XI.
Policy.
A.
Staff will continue to cross-cite simple, common hazards from those listed in
Appendix A for CSHD and Appendix B for GISHD during inspections and
investigations. Staff will only cross-cite hazards for which they have the
appropriate training, expertise and knowledge. This includes an understanding of
the rule, ability to apply the rule in the workplace, ability to recognize and
document hazards, and the ability to explain abatement alternatives.
B.
For more complex hazards or items not listed in Appendix A or B, staff will work
cooperatively with the other discipline or division to collect and transfer
information and to conduct a One MIOSHA or joint inspection.
C.
XII.
1.
Example: A safety officer or industrial hygienist from GISHD identifies
an unsafe trench, takes photos, calls CSHD and turns over photographic
documentation and narrative to CSHD.
2.
Example: Within a compliance division, a SO identifies a large number of
complex health hazards associated with the other discipline. The other
discipline is contacted and a decision is made to conduct a joint inspection
or an IOA.
Staff will continue to discuss the hazards of the other discipline or division with
their counterparts, especially when staff is not confident in their expertise and
when the issues are complex.
Procedures for Identifying Cross-Citable Hazards.
A.
The Division Directors and/or designees will identify which hazards are
appropriate for recommendation for routine cross-citing. Criteria for selecting
hazards include complexity of the issue, whether the issue can be easily assessed,
and how common it is to the workplace. These recommendations will be
forwarded to the workgroup for evaluation and determination for appropriate
cross-citing.
B.
The Division Directors and/or designee will develop guidance for evaluating
cross-citable hazards. Guidance may include a hazard analysis worksheet, fact
sheet, or other written guidance. Staff will be trained on the hazard and how to
use the guidance and/or worksheet.
C.
The initial set of common cross-citable hazards has been identified and guidance
is included as Appendices to this instruction.

Cross-Citing Hazards in a Different Discipline or Division
XIII.
D.
The workgroup process will be used to assess and determine whether additional
hazards should be added to those deemed appropriate for cross-citing. The
workgroup will consist of union representatives of the disciplines that will be
impacted by the new cross-citing guidelines as well as management from the
disciplines impacted.
E.
In the event there is no steward or employee representative available in the
affected discipline, the union affected will be invited to designate a committee
member.
F.
Appropriate equipment for cross-citing will be assigned when necessary.
G.
Staff are encouraged to discuss cross-citable hazards that come up and to
determine how the hazard will be addressed; i.e., with a One-MIOSHA or Joint
Inspection, cited by the other discipline, or cross-cited. Staff is also encouraged
to discuss new cross-citable issues for consideration.
Imminent Danger and Fatality Situations.
A.
Staff flexibility in addressing imminent danger situations and meeting the one-day
requirement to initiate a fatality investigation is contractually recognized and has
historically been used by the agency to meet these emergency needs.
B.
When staff from a different discipline or division is called upon to open an
investigation due to an imminent danger or fatality, the information collected
during the opening conference and during the physical investigation will be
transferred to the staff person from the appropriate discipline or division to
include in the case file.
C.
When it is unclear whether the work operation is safety or health and/or whether it
falls under general industry or construction, compliance officers from more than
one program area may initially be assigned. Once further information is obtained
to clarify the work operations, a compliance officer will be identified to assume
responsibility for the investigation. If multiple issues remain, it will become a
One-MIOSHA, joint inspection, or an IOA; and a lead compliance officer may be
named.

Building Survey and Communication of Hazards to Contractors
This standard applies to the communication of information concerning asbestos hazards
in construction activities to facilitate compliance with this standard. Most asbestosrelated construction activities involve previously installed building materials. Building

owners often are the only and/or best sources of information concerning them.
Therefore, they, along with employers of potentially exposed employees, are assigned
specific information conveying and retention duties under this standard. Installed
Asbestos Containing Building Material - employers and building owners shall identify
thermal system insulation (TSI) and sprayed or troweled on surfacing materials in
buildings as asbestos-containing in pre-1981 buildings, unless they determine in
compliance with paragraph (k)(5) of this standard that the material is not asbestoscontaining. Asphalt and vinyl flooring material installed prior to1981 must also be
considered as asbestos containing unless the employer, pursuant to paragraph (g)(8)(i)(I)
of this standard determines that it is not asbestos-containing. If the employer/building
owner has actual knowledge, or should have known through the exercise of due
diligence, that other materials are asbestos-containing, they too must be treated as such.
When communicating information to employees pursuant to this standard, owners and
employers shall identify presumed asbestos containing materials (PACM) as asbestos
containing materials (ACM). Additional requirements relating to communication of
asbestos work on multi-employer worksites are set out in paragraph (d) of this standard.

29 CFR 1926.1101(k)(2)(i): Before work subject to this standard is begun,
building and facility owners shall determine the presence, location and quantity of
ACM, and/or PACM at the work site pursuant to paragraph (k)(1) of this section.
o Typically Serious: Due to the hazards associated with asbestos, this
citation is normally serious when improperly controlled asbestos
disturbance or removal activities have occurred in the building. A referral
to an IH would be necessary in this situation for a follow-up. However, if
a disturbance has not and is not likely to occur, an other than serious
citation may be issued.
