MIOSHA, Workers Compensation Agency Join Forces for Winter Safety Campaign The Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Administration (MIOSHA) and the Michigan Workers Compensation Agency have launched a Dont Roll the Dice with Snow and Ice public service campaign, offering tips for worker safety and reduced workers compensation costs during the winter, which can be a particularly hazardous time for employers and employees. According to the Accident Fund Insurance Company of America and United Heartland, during the winter, slips and falls represent one-third of all workers compensation claims in Michigan, the agencies report. Every employer should have an effective safety and health management system in place to protect its most valuable asset: its employees, said MIOSHA Director Martha Yoder. As part of this program, they should prepare for winter conditions and provide helpful information to their employees on how to avoid injury and illness.
