Health and Safety Solutions

The MSU School of Labor and Industrial Relations has offered high quality health and safety training programs on a nationwide basis for nearly two decades. Emphasizing practical applications and a "hands-on" approach, both employers and employees are assured that the training will be immediately useful in the work environment.

Program staff can help to identify the particular problems facing employers, and they can recommend pragmatic solutions. No "canned answers" are given - all programs are custom-made and focus on those areas of the law that a client group needs to know. Prior to training, a staff specialist conducts a site visit to facilitate the design of the program. Times and dates for on-site programs are set to meet the client’s schedule. The fees for each course are based on the number of participants, as well as the number of hours spent in training.

Noncredit course offerings include specific topics within each of the following generalized areas: hazardous waste, emergency response, confined space entry, and medical/first aid. Courses have been offered to a wide range of organizations in both the public and private sector.
