CHECK OUT STATE FUND'S ONLINE IIPP BUILDER
Since 1991, the California Code of Regulations has required employers to establish, implement, and maintain an effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) to ensure that all California employers meet their obligation to provide and maintain a safe and healthy workplace for their employees.
An IIPP is a written plan that details the required steps employers must take to protect their employees from workplace hazards. If a Cal/OSHA inspector visits a workplace, one of the first things he/she will ask is to see the company's IIPP. The benefits of having an effective IIPP include: reducing work-related injuries, and avoiding costly Cal/OSHA fines.
As a service to our policyholders, State Fund has developed an online tool called the IIPP Builder. This interactive tool enables you to create an Injury and Illness Prevention Program specific to your business operation and allows you to download various forms and checklists to use when implementing your IIPP. The IIPP builder contains tutorials that will guide you through the steps necessary to compose your customized safety program. The IIPP Builder will not only enable you to create and update your IIPP, it's also designed to help you understand IIPP requirements and to determine if your IIPP meets Cal/OSHA requirements.
The IIPP Builder - which requires either Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher or Adobe Acrobat 5.0 or higher - is available exclusively to our policyholders through State Fund Online (a free resource tool that allows you to quickly and easily manage your policy round the clock). If you're not currently a State Fund Online user, register now at www.scif.com.
