Injury and Illness Prevention Program for California employers in Texas.
A GC in Houston 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 Texas 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.
In Texas, Federal OSHA is the enforcing agency. Where the state has its own requirement on this subject, the plan carries a Texas section that says so.
- Federal OSHA standards apply to private construction; the state preempted local rest-break ordinances in 2023.
- Heat is the first thing a Texas GC's safety director asks about between May and September.
Nothing in it is boilerplate you have to hunt through: the hazards come from your tasks and equipment, the controls from a library written to Cal/OSHA Title 8 3203.
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 Texas California subs
- Do I need an IIPP for work in Texas?
- Texas does not require an IIPP by that name, but federal OSHA's safety and health program guidance covers the same eight elements, and GCs and insurers ask for one. This program serves that purpose and is the IIPP you need if you also work in California.
- 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 Texas?
- Private construction in Texas is covered by federal OSHA (Federal OSHA (Austin, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Houston, Lubbock, and San Antonio area offices)). Your plan is written for the project address, and where Texas 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.
