Sending a written request to the L&I public disclosure unit at:

Department of Labor & Industries

Public Disclosure Unit

The requestor's name.

The date the request is being made.

A description of the requested records, including the title, subject matter, date the records were made, and any other identifying information.

A signed statement that the material will not be used for commercial purposes, if the requested material includes a list of individuals.

Department staff will assist the requestor in identifying records if needed. If the request is not clear, the department will ask for clarification.
