This act covers both private and public employers, ensuring equal access to job opportunities for individuals with disabilities. 3.

It prevents retaliation by employers against whistleblowers and encourages a culture of integrity and accountability. 5. Michigan Occupational Safety and Health Act (MI OSHA): The MI OSHA ensures a safe and healthy work environment for employees by setting and enforcing safety standards, providing training, and conducting inspections. It promotes equal access to a safe workplace for all individuals.
