Our services
> We're not just about enforcement
Thinking that the cost of investing in a safe, healthful workplace is more than you can afford? Consider our services:
- Consultation. Safety specialists, industrial hygienists, and ergonomists in our consultation section can show you how to reduce accident costs with innovative approaches to safety and health management. There’s no charge.
- Education. We have free online classes for you and your employees and easy-to-use training materials for Spanish-speaking workers.
- Conferences. We host conferences statewide for safety and health professionals, employers, and employees who can share their ideas with nationally recognized peers. Our premier event — the biennial Governor’s Occupational Safety and Health Conference — is the Pacific Northwest’s largest safety and health show.
- Scholarships. Our annual Workers’ Memorial Scholarship is open to students, GED recipients, and recent graduates who are dependents or spouses of workers killed or permanently disabled by on-the-job injuries.
- Recognition. If you’re an employer who’s dedicated to safety excellence, our Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) and Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) will reward your effort. Both programs commit you to achieve outstanding safety performance and reward you for your efforts.
Get what you pay for. Don’t forget your workers' compensation insurance carrier. Your carrier must help you evaluate your workplace for hazards, explain the safety and health rules that apply to your workplace, and work with you to develop a safety and health program. All at no charge — but you must request these services. To learn more, read Are you getting loss prevention services from your workers compensation insurance carrier?
