Now that school has started, it is a good time to ensure that your staff bulletin boards include all the current posters required by the state and federal governments.

Display posters in each district building where employees work including schools, the district office, maintenance building and bus garage in a location where they can easily be seen and read.

The following posters are required per Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. Links to the Washington posters are located here:

  • Job Safety & Health Law (F416-081-909) Valid date: 09/2015
  • Your Rights as a Worker (F700-074-909) Valid date: 04/2015
  • Notice to Employees – If a Job Injury Occurs – Self Insurance Poster (F207-037-909) Valid date: 12/2012

Please be sure to complete the Notice to Employees form with the name and phone number of your employer contact. Your district is a self-insured business, so be sure to post the Notice to Employees poster for self-insured businesses and not the state fund poster.
