State Fund launches injury and illness prevention program builder

PLEASANTON, Calif. – State Compensation Insurance Fund launched State Fund’s IIPP Builderˢ ͫ, a free online tool available to all California employers, designed to help create a complete, effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program for their businesses.

Many employers are unaware that state law mandates an IIPP and, should Cal/OSHA visit, they could end up with a citation, the most frequent of workplace violations.

From responsibility for the program to record keeping, the builder guides users through each of the eight parts of an IIPP, asking questions about their current safety plans along the way. The employers’ answers help build their own safety program and tailor it specifically to their businesses.

“It’s easy to use and makes a complicated task simple for business owners; they don’t have to be an expert on safety regulations to create their own safety program and be compliant,” said Lauren Mayfield, SVP of Safety & Health and Loss Prevention.

More than 1,200 employers have completed safety plans with the tool since its release. Those businesses are now compliant and have taken an important step toward protecting their employees by improving workplace safety.

The State Fund has been helping to make California workplaces safe for more than 100 years. The path to workplace safety begins with an effective, compliant IIPP in writing, which is accessible to all employees.
