Injury and Illness Prevention Program for California employers in Washington.
You need a Injury and Illness Prevention Program for a job in Washington. You do not need a consultant, a three-day turnaround, or a Word file from 2014.
What GCs in Washington 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.
The plan is written for a Washington project address, so the Washington requirements a GC in Seattle expects to see are included, not left for you to add.
- DOSH enforces its own construction rules (WAC 296-155): a written Accident Prevention Program, weekly safety meetings, and fall protection at 4 feet.
- Washington's outdoor heat rule and wildfire smoke rule apply at set triggers with written procedures.
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 Washington California subs
- Do I need an IIPP for work in Washington?
- Washington does not require an IIPP by that name, but Washington DOSH (Department of Labor & Industries) expects a written safety program covering 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 Washington?
- Washington runs its own state plan, enforced by Washington DOSH (Department of Labor & Industries), so the plan follows federal 1926 plus the state's additions. Your plan is written for the project address, and where Washington 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.
