Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I)

Every year the Governor's Industrial Safety and Health Conference (GISHC) offers 2 days of training and education, providing the latest tools, technologies and strategies for workplace safety and health. Alternating between the eastern and western side of the state, each year it attracts approximately 1000 safety and health attendees. More than 300 volunteers, representing the diversity of industrial Washington, contribute to its success year after year! It features special events like the Pole Top Rescue competition, Lifesaving Awards, and Exhibit & Demo Halls where companies display cutting-edge technologies focused on improving worker safety, including demonstrations on lockout/tagout, fall protection, and 3-point truck exiting.
