Washington

168 severe-injury reports between 2015-02-23 and 2025-10-16, 2,413 OSHA inspections, and 59,583 Form 300/301 injury filings on federal record in Washington.

Washington operates its own OSHA-approved State Plan covering private-sector workplaces, so most enforcement there is state-run. The federal OSHA records on this page cover only workplaces under federal jurisdiction in Washington (for example maritime, military installations, and federal agencies) — they are not a complete picture of workplace safety in the state.
