Injury and Illness Prevention Program for California employers in California.
A GC in Los Angeles wants a Injury and Illness Prevention Program that names this project, this crew, and this scope. That is what you get here, in Word and PDF, English and Spanish.
What GCs in California check for
Cal/OSHA asks for it on every inspection, and California GCs ask for it with the site-specific plan. The reviewer looks for the person responsible, the inspection schedule, the communication system, and the training and records sections.
California GCs, especially in Los Angeles, review subcontractor plans before badging. The plan is built to pass that review the first time.
- Every employer needs a written Injury and Illness Prevention Program under Title 8 3203.
- Heat illness prevention is a written-plan requirement outdoors (3395) and indoors (3396).
- Cal/OSHA permits are needed for trenches 5 feet or deeper and for buildings or scaffolds over 36 feet.
Every section a reviewer looks for is fixed and written against Cal/OSHA Title 8 3203; your answers fill in the project, the hazards, the controls, and the names.
Competent persons, the nearest hospital, the muster point, and the emergency chain are all in it, because those are the lines a reviewer checks first.

Questions from California California subs
- Do I need an IIPP for work in California?
- Yes. Every California employer, of any size, must have a written IIPP under Title 8 3203, and it is the first document a Cal/OSHA inspector asks for.
- Is this the same as a site-specific safety plan?
- No. The IIPP is company-wide and covers how you find and fix hazards everywhere you work. The site-specific plan applies it to one project. The program includes project-specific sections for the job you enter, and the Full Suite includes both.
- Does a injury and illness prevention program have to be state-specific in California?
- California runs its own state plan, enforced by Cal/OSHA (Division of Occupational Safety and Health), so the plan follows federal 1926 plus the state's additions. Your plan is written for the project address, and where California has its own rule on the subject the plan says so and applies the stricter requirement.
- Is this OSHA-approved?
- No document is. OSHA and the state programs do not approve written plans; they inspect against them. This plan is prepared from your answers, says so on page one, and you adopt and implement it. That is what a GC's safety director is checking for.
- How long does it take?
- About 15 minutes of questions on your phone, then the documents generate in under two minutes. Word and PDF, English and Spanish, with your logo on the cover.
- What if the GC asks for changes?
- Edit your answers and regenerate as often as you like for 30 days at no charge. Every version stays downloadable. If it is not what you needed, reply to any of our emails within 30 days for a full refund.
