Protecting Washington Citizens
L&I is a diverse state agency dedicated to the safety, health and security of Washington’s 3.2 million workers. Their mission is to help employers meet safety and health standards and to inspect workplaces when alerted to hazards.
As administrators of the state’s workers’ compensation system, L&I is similar to a large insurance company, providing medical and limited wage-replacement coverage to workers who suffer job-related injuries and illness. Their rules and enforcement programs also help ensure workers are paid what they are owed, that children’s and teens’ work hours are limited, and that consumers are protected from unsound building practices.
There are 20 Labor and Industries Offices throughout Washington.
