State tells appellate court staffing agency can be liable for asbestos training; Tradesman says training is site‑specific At an appellate oral argument in Labor and Industries v. Tradesman International LLC, the state argued that a WAC training requirement is a generalized asbestos‑awareness rule that makes staffing agencies liable when they control pre‑assignment training; Tradesman's counsel said the two‑hour course is class‑4, site‑specific training and Tradesman lacked control of the jobsite.

In a pivotal case, the state argues that staffing agencies can be held liable for asbestos training, while Tradesman insists their training is strictly site-specific—who's right?
