IIPP Policy

Zacks Mimi

Do any members have an Injury Illness Prevention Program in place?
If so, please fill me in. What is it and how do I go about creating one.
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not sure whether you are taking about a safety program, wellness program or work hardening program (help people injured on the job not reinjure themselves). If you will clarify, I'll try to help.

For Margarets benefit, the IIPP is the California version of workplace safety regulations - Injury and Illness Prevention Program - and is enforced by Cal-Osha, our state agency. You can E-Mail me at [email]shugh@westernu.edu[/email] and I can steer you in the right direction.

Gillian,

I appreciate the education. With 50 states, it's hard to keep up!

Details on the Injury & Illness Prevention Program can be found in the General Industry Safety Orders (GISO), Title 8, Sec. 3203. You can access the GISO from the DOSH homepage at [url]www.dir.gov/DOSH/dosh1.html[/url]. The IIPP has eight required elements, including sections on employer responsibility, hazard communication, training, discipline, etc. Your Worker's Compensation Insurance carrier should be able to give you guidance on developing a program.
