OSHA Compliance Plan Requirements in Washington

A comprehensive OSHA-specific compliance program covering Injury and Illness Prevention (IIPP), hazard communication (HazCom/GHS), emergency procedures, and OSHA recordkeeping requirements.

All employers with employees are subject to OSHA regulations. Employers with 11+ employees must maintain OSHA 300 logs. States with state OSHA plans may require additional written programs.

Washington operates its own OSHA-approved state plan through WA DOSH (RCW Chapter 49.17). This means Washington businesses must meet requirements that can be more stringent than federal OSHA standards.
