An Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) is a written workplace safety program that addresses hazards in the workplace. You may also see it called an Accident Prevention Program or something similar. The goal is the same – save lives, save money, and comply with regulations (in some areas an IIPP is required).
There are certain elements common to most IIPPs. Use this self-assessment from CalOSHA to check if your current IIPP is effective or to help you create and implement a new one. Edit and revise as needed.
| IIPP Elements | Requirements | Written | Implemented | Effective | Comments/Suggestions |
| Responsibility | Persons with authority/responsibility for implementing program identified | ||||
| Compliance | System for ensuring employees comply with safe and healthful work practices | ||||
| Communication | System for communicating safety and health in a form understandable by all | ||||
| Hazard Assessment | Procedures for identifying/evaluating hazards | ||||
| Incident Investigation | Procedure to investigate injuries, illnesses, near misses | ||||
| Hazard Correction | Methods for timely correction of unsafe work conditions/practices – based on hazard severity | ||||
| Training & Instruction | Training to instruct on general and job-specific safety/health practices | ||||
