INJURY & ILLNESS PREVENTION PROGRAMS

If your business is located in California you need an Injury Illness and Prevention Program. And, if you are a grower, you may need a Heat Injury Illness and Prevention program too. 

Most successful injury and illness prevention programs include a similar set of commonsense elements that focus on finding all hazards in the workplace and developing a plan for preventing and controlling those hazards.

Management leadership and active worker participation are essential to ensuring that all hazards are identified and addressed.
