The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity will hold a public hearing to receive public  
comments on proposed changes to the General Industry Safety and Health Part 62 Plastic Molding rule  
set.  
The amendments of the General Industry Safety and Health Standard Part 62. Plastic Molding are  
proposed to take immediate effect after filing with the Secretary of State. The proposed rules (2019-122  
LE) will be updated to amend the rules for lockout and guarding to reflect current technologies used in  
the plastics industry. By adding options for guarding this will give an employer more choices for  
effectively satisfying lockout/tagout minor servicing exemption of their plastic molding machines. This  
will also allow the rules to add additional options to new and old machines.  
By authority conferred on the director of the department of licensing and regulatory affairs by sections 16  
and 21 of the Michigan occupational safety and health act, 1974 PA 154, MCL 408.1016 and 408.1021,  
and Executive Reorganization Order Nos. 1996 2, 2003 1, 2008 4, 2011 4, and 2019-3, MCL 445.2001,  
445.2011, 445.2025, 445.2030, and 125.1998. The rules will take effect immediately upon filing with the  
Secretary of State, unless specified otherwise in the rules. These rules will take effect Immediately after  
filing with the Secretary of State. The rules are published on the Michigan Government web site at  
http://www.michigan.gov/moahr and in the Michigan Register in the 1/1/2021 issue. Copies of the draft
