WISHA Manuals for Medical, Dental and Veterinary Offices

Washington OSHA (WISHA) Manuals

Under Section 18 of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), Washington has been operating a State Plan since June of 1973. There are seven (7) states including Washington that are under an operational status agreement with OSHA allowing them to adopt new rules and enforce them vigorously. Over the years, Washington has adopted several safety laws that are significantly different from their federal counterparts.

Our all new 2020 Washington Industrial Safety and Health Act (WISHA) Manuals for Medical, Dental and Veterinary Offices contain the most up-to-date WISHA rules and regulations for safety compliance and training. The accompanying documentation kit binder contains mandated safety plans to prepare you for inspection. Our audio-visual training CD contains WISHA regulatory information to help you train your staff.
