Download the FREE Illness/Injury Prevention Program PDFInjury Illness Prevention Program Guide PDF Gerry Bonetto


In California every employer has a legal obligation to provide and maintain a safe and healthful workplace for employees, according to the California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973. As of 1991, a written, effective Injury and Illness Prevention (IIP) Program is required for every California employer.

An Injury and Illness Prevention Program (often called a SB 198 Program) must be in writing and be effective. This downloadable guide will allow you to create a written Injury Illness Prevention Program. Once you finish filling out the forms you will have a basic Illness Prevention Program.
