The MICCS Safety Directors Committee (SDC) has developed a series of
documents that is an integral part of a plan or guideline to meet
the requirements of the new steel erection
standards. These documents are only intended to be guidelines
or suggestions. Each company should of course use their own judgment
regarding their use of all or part of any of these helpful tools.
The MICCS Substance
Abuse Program is a
guideline for companies (owners and contractors) to use when
developing their
own substance abuse program.
MICCS has created recommended contract
specifications that provide suggested language so owners
and contractors can specify the use of safety practices
that have been developed by
MICCS and approved by the MICCS Board of Directors.

Do you have a rescue plan? Every construction company should have a well thought
out and detailed rescue program including properly trained individuals. If an
accident were to occur, seconds count, and primarily relying on a fire department
to rescue someone may not always work if that fire department is not properly
trained or is already occupied with another incident. Click on the link below to
see if there is a fire department in your area trained in rescue procedures.
(TECH Level is the highest level of rescue training. If you need more information
on fire departments in your area or project's area, contact information is listed
on the spreadsheet.)
