Following World War II, it was realized that there were nearly as many Americans killed in the defense industries as were killed on the battlefields. The current president was Harry Truman. In 1949 he called a conference of governors in Washington DC, one of the governors who attended was Governor Langlie from this state. The President urged all the governors to return to their states and sponsor state conferences to educate the workforce in incident prevention in an attempt to reduce injuries and fatalities in the workplace. Washington State has held a Governor's Industrial Safety and Health Conference each year except three since 1949. The first conferences focused on the high-risk industries and included traffic safety. Industrial hygiene, the "health" part was not included in the title until 1973 when WISHA was passed and the name of the division became Safety and Health. In 2006, during a reorganization the name was changed to Division of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH).
