WISHA (Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act)

WISHA (Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act) is a state law that requires employers in Washington to provide safe and healthy workplaces for their employees. It sets standards for workplace safety, including proper training, safety equipment, and hazard prevention. WISHA is enforced by the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries, which conducts inspections and can issue citations if safety rules are broken. The goal is to reduce workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities by ensuring employers actively manage and maintain safe working conditions for everyone.
