Washington Young Worker Safety and Health Advisory Network

In 2008 we re-established a statewide advisory network of representatives of public and private organizations with an interest in young worker safety issues. The network meets quarterly and promotes collaboration among the wide variety of efforts to promote workplace safety for youth. It has also served as the advisory group to the young worker SHIP grant activities.
