Description
In California every employer has a legal obligation to provide and maintain a safe and healthful workplace for employees, according to the California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973. As of 1991, a written, effective Injury and Illness Prevention (IIPP), Program is required for every California employer. Your company’s safety manual should describe the responsibilities in establishing, implementing, maintaining, an IIPP Program. It also should outline steps that the company will take to develop an effective Program that helps assure the safety and health of employees while on the job.
Below is a sample Table of Contents.
- Management Commitment/Assignment of Responsibilities
- Safety Communications
- Hazard Assessment Plan and Control
- Accident Investigation
- Safety Planning, Rules & Work Procedures
- Safety & Health Training
Note: Other topics and programs may apply. PCS Consultants will assist you in navigating through specific policies and programs as applicable to your industry and hazards. This manual is designed to help employers comply with this regulation, to include assisting the employer in reducing losses resulting from accidents and injuries.
