Workforce Regulation and Safety

Workforce Regulation and Safety enforces the safety laws that protect Rhode Island’s workforce, including the fair collection of wages, child labor laws, trade licensing, apprenticeship training, hazardous substance exposure, weights and measures, and prevailing wage laws.

This is accomplished through licensing, inspection programs, educational programs, and labor law enforcement.
