Injury & Illness Prevention Programs (IIPP)

California law (SB198) requires companies to have an Injury and Illness Prevention (IIPP) program. Failure to comply with this law may result in heavy fines and shutdowns for the Company, and both criminal and civil prosecution of Company officers and supervisors that are held responsible. Strategic HR can provide cost-effective, fully compliant IIPP programs that can help reduce industrial accident and injury rates, lower workers' compensation premiums, and increase employee productivity.

Strategic HR's IIPP programs include:

• Briefing you on the IIPP Standard and what you must do to comply with the Regulation, and advising you in some of the more cost-effective approaches to implementing the program.
• Preparing an initial draft of a written IIPP program containing the following required components:
  • Designated responsibilities, including the names of persons responsible for implementing the IIPP.
  • A system for identifying and evaluating the workplace hazards, including periodic inspections.
  • Methods for correcting unsafe or unhealthful work practices or conditions.
  • Safety and health training.
  • A system for communicating with employees on safety and health issues and for receiving and acting on employee input.
  • A system for insuring that employees comply with safety and health practices, including discipline.
  • A system for investigating and acting upon reported work related illnesses and injuries and incidents.
• Questions or input you have regarding the initial draft will be reviewed with you and incorporated into a final draft for implementation.
