Small Business Outreach Partners Program

L&I oversees many programs that affect businesses and nonprofit organizations, including worker safety and

health, workers’ compensation insurance, wage and hour requirements, construction-related licensing and

registration, and other worker and consumer protection laws. Despite regular employer trainings, outreach

events, and other efforts to educate Washington employers about workplace requirements, many are not aware

of their L&I-related responsibilities.

With a focus on businesses and nonprofits with 50 or fewer employees, outreach partners connect with their

constituency or audience to provide information about L&I requirements and resources.
