Washington State Department of Health developed it as a model curriculum for HIV/AIDS education for educators teaching classes for health professions licensure. It presents the specific topics required by law. It is not a self-study manual. Educators should present the material in a traditional classroom style.

Who should take this course:

in industries with a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code in the following major groups:

• Agriculture and forestry industries.
• Mining, quarrying, and oil and gas extraction.
• Construction industries.
• Manufacturing industries.
• Transportation, pipeline, communications, electric, gas, and sanitary services.
• Automotive repair, services, and garages.
• Miscellaneous repair services.
• Health services.
• Educational services.

These industries, selected by the Legislature, typically have or use chemical products that are hazardous and may create potential exposure to employees.

This program supports the implementation of the Worker and Community Right to Know Act (app.leg.wa.gov), passed by the Washington State Legislature in 1984. L&I administers this program under the Right to Know Fee Assessment rule, Chapter 296-63, WAC.
