Safe Workers! Moving Washington Forward Webinar: Tuesday, March 21, 2023

Safe Workers! Moving Washington Forward Webinar: Tuesday, March 21, 2023 In every industry, including construction, home care, logging, small-scale and apparel manufacturing, and more, employees are at risk of injury and long-term disability in their work environments. When employers implement safe workplace practices, they reduce risks on the job which impacts the financial health of the businesses. This also helps to ensure employees stay healthy and strong throughout their working lives.

On March 21, 2023 WSMA presented the Safe Workers! Moving Washington Forward Webinar. You will hear from perspectives from organizations that support small businesses with key resources and information. We welcomed Erin Nutter, Risk Management Consultant, Region 4 with the Washington State Department of @LaborandIndustries1 Division of Occupational Safety and Health and Rick Goggins, CPE, Ergonomist with the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries Division of Occupational Safety and Health, who will demystify their confidential, no-fee, professional advice and assistance to Washington businesses which can help you find and fix hazards in your workplace and strengthen your safety program.

You will also hear from Ming-Ming Tung-Edelman, Founder & Executive Director of @refugeeartisaniniative1826 @refugeeartisaninitiative3855 who will share her real world perspective and successes in building and supporting the safety of RAI Artisans.

This webinar replay is presented by the Washington State Microenterprise Association (WSMA) in partnership with the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries for Employer Outreach and Education, the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries Division of Occupational Safety and Health and the Refugee Artisan Initiative.
