Safety and Health in Nonprofits

Seven percent of employees in Washington work in nonprofit organizations. Nonprofit leaders and workers are usually focused on serving their communities, not on compliance and administrative requirements related to operating a small business. Limitations on time, funding, and technical knowledge make it challenging to navigate and follow safety and health laws, rules, and regulations.
