Build Your Injury and Illness Prevention Program: Easy Tool for California Employers

All California employers are required to create an Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) that’s tailored to their business and accessible to all employees.

The State Compensation Insurance Fund offers a no-cost, easy-to-use Injury and Illness Prevention Program IIPP Builder℠. Also, to make it easier for companies with Spanish-speaking employees, this is now available in Spanish too.

The tool is available to all California businesses, regardless of whether they are a State Fund policyholder. It’s easy to switch between English and Spanish, and offering a program in the preferred language of Spanish-speaking employees can help business owners create a culture of safety in their workplace, reduce the risk of injuries, and promote healthy practices.

I provided the links above, but to create an IIPP in English or Spanish, visit www.SafeAtWorkCA.com, then simply create an account and follow the prompts to build and save a customized program.

State Compensation Insurance Fund policyholders can log in to create and save their Injury and Illness Prevention Program then return to revise, update, or translate it whenever they need to.

Of course, building your own IIPP isn’t ideal for all businesses. Some are more complex and need the help of a dedicated safety consultant.

If your business needs help building a tailored Injury and Illness Prevention Program, contact me for resources and referrals to help with this. I have many.
