The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity will hold a public hearing to receive public  
comments on proposed changes to the General Industry Safety Standard Part 74. Fire Fighting rule set.  
The Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) and the Michigan Occupational Safety and  
Health Administration (MIOSHA) will hold a public hearing on the promulgation of the General Industry  
Safety Health Standard Part 74. Firefighting.  
The proposed rule set will be updated to adopt by reference National Fire Protection Association  
(NFPA) standard 1403 establishing requirements for live fire training.  
On July31, 2020, MCL 408.1014r was added to the Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act, 1974  
PA 154, to require the Director of LEO to promulgate rules regarding a firefighter’s use of firefighting  
foam concentrates containing Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS). These new rules are included in the  
proposed changes.  
Several of the current rules that reference older versions of NFPA standards have been updated to a  
newer version of the standards. These updated references and requirements can be viewed with other  
proposed amendments at the link provided below.  
The proposed rules will be published in the April 1, 2022, Michigan Register. You may download a  
free copy of the proposed amendments by visiting the agency’s website at

Occupational Safety and Health Act, 1974 PA 154, MCL 408.1014r, 408.1016, and 408.1021, and
