Safety at work

Information and resources to keep King County employees safe on the job.

Our safety professionals assist and consult with managers on ways to prevent accidents. We look at various work practices to ensure the proper work tools and personal protective equipment are used.

Our services also include industrial hygienists who prevent occupational illness by evaluating and controlling workplace health hazards such as asbestos, welding fumes, solvent vapors, and noise.
