Building safety through science and training

A smarter approach to workplace risk is emerging from the University of Washington, where decades of research meet boots-on-the-ground training. Through its DEOHS and the Pacific Northwest’s only OSHA-authorised education centre, UW is bridging academic insight with practical tools for tackling real-world hazards—think chemical exposure, heat stress, wildfire smoke, and confined spaces.

Effective risk management doesn’t stop at compliance. It starts with evidence-based education, tailored training, and a commitment to evolving standards.
