Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP)

The safety of students and staff is always a concern. To assist districts with this challenge, SIA has a Model Injury & Illness Prevention Program which can be adapted to the needs of the school or worksite. All California employers, including school districts, are required to have an Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) in place. An IIPP must:

1. Be in writing
2. Identify the person with authority and responsibility for implementing the program.
3. Provide a means for identifying job safety and health hazards.
4. Establish routine documented inspections and describe corrective steps taken to eliminate any hazards discovered.
5. Document training of new and current employees in general safe work practices and specific hazards related to their job assignment.
6. Provide a method for assuring compliance with safety requirements.
7. Describe a system for communicating with employees on safety and health matters.
