Injury and Illness Prevention Program

Under California law, every employer has an obligation to provide a safe workplace, and every employee has an obligation to act safely.

A common mistake employers make is to purchase a model or generic IIPP and then fail to tailor it to their individual workplace. The written program is a necessary part of complying with the IIPP requirement, but the safety practices workers actually follow make the difference between having an accident and avoiding one. This is what compliance is really about!
