Mich. Comp. Laws § 338.2154: Enforcement of act and rules; variations or modifications of rules.

Sec. 4.

The director of labor shall enforce this act and the rules promulgated pursuant to this act by the board. Where, because of special conditions, a literal enforcement of the rules will result in unnecessary hardship or involve practical difficulties, the director, upon application in specific cases, may authorize variations or modifications of the rules in a manner not contrary to the public interest and so that the spirit of the rules shall be observed, public safety secured, and substantial justice done.
