1. The New MICCS Certification Program An Introduction to the Enhancements and Updates of the MICCS Certification Program

2. What will be covered? Show off the newly redesigned and updated program Highlight enhancements and changes made to program Provide lead time to prepare for changes Answer questions

3. What did we do? Held several focus group meetings to identify updates to the program requirements Held additional focus group meetings to identify enhancements for the web-based application for all users Redesigned the web-based application and database Overall: significant amount of staff and volunteer time and significant monetary investment for the organization

4. Why did we do all of this? The program requirements had not been reviewed and revised in the past 10 years. Changes in the industry have occurred and the program needs to reflect this. The web-based application was outdated and had numerous limitations. Increase the value to owners and to contractors Better the overall user experience

5. What does this mean for you? Easier to navigate and understand program requirements Company dashboard with notifications such as renewal and annual stats update Snapshot with program scoring and reviewer feedback Sortable list so owners can easily find contractors

12. New HOA Requirement for “Qualified” Status Currently, “Qualified” companies do not have to go through a Home Office Audit (HOA) automatically. Instead these companies are put into a randomized selection pool. On January 1, 2014, in order to attain “Qualified” status, companies will be required to pass an HOA.

13. New HOA Requirement for “Qualified” Status Why? The board believes that the HOA is the best way to understand how and if a company is following their safety program. The new HOA requirement will apply to all new applicants. Companies currently in “Qualified” status will be randomly selected over the next three years for a HOA so that all “Qualified” contractors have passed a HOA by early 2017.

Revised SPRS The revised SPRS is posted online at www.miccs.org and all changes are highlighted www.miccs.org Everyone received an handout Language updates to make it clearer as to what is being asked of you Updates to keep in line with IOSHA and generally accepted industry standards Should be nothing that comes as a shock but there are several changes so please prepare in advance

Revised SPRS Companies will be required to upload their safety program/manual in PDF format Page numbers will be required for referencing plus there is an added box for more detailed information The program requires that you use the PDF number (not the document page number) to avoid any confusion for the reviewer The program will keep historical SPRS and HOA information
