An Introduction to the Cal/OSHA Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP)

Presented by: Scott Bourdon, CIH, ARM, CSP, REHS
Sr. Mgr., Risk & Environmental Health & Safety

Description:
This course will review the Cal/OSHA Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) requirement.  OSHA considered adopting a similar requirement a few years ago, and many other states require one for certain industries.  Whether or not your State requires an IIPP, it acts as a simple safety management system anyone can understand and use.  Simple metrics can be adopted for it.  And an IIPP will help your team and co-workers understand their safety roles and responsibilities.
