Every employer, regardless of size is required
by law (Labor code section) to provide a safe and healthy workplace
for his/her employees. As stated within Title 8 (T8), of the California
Code of Regulations (CCR) and now accepted by most states, requires
every employer to have an effective Injury and Illness Prevention
Program that must be in writing and must also comply with T8 CCR
sections of the General Industry Safety Orders. Further, if employer
has more than one location, a full copy shall be placed for review
by all employees at each employer’s location.
In an attempt to implement important reform
which reduces bureaucratic mandates on employers without compromising
workplace safety, California OSHA developed the “Injury &
Illness Safety Prevention Program” (Now implemented by most
states).
Enacted in 1989, SB198 (Senate Bill 198) required
every California employer to develop and maintain a written IIP
Program, (Injury & Illness). This mandate applied to all employers
regardless of the number of employees or hazard that a particular
industry posed to employees.
Many
employers lack the expertise needed to properly and legally develop
an individual tailored Injury & Illness Safety Program and are
forced to pay thousands of dollars to have one created by outside
consultants.
US Comp.org is the lowest priced program
- Under $600
with the most comprehensive layout and follow-up service available
anywhere.
The US Comp.org program also comes with a 1-month free trial to
“My e-claims, claims tracking system on the “All Things
Insurance.net” website.
This allows a small employer or his/her agent,
or broker to track all new, open and reserved Workers Comp claims.
This tool will allow a small employer to lower their insurance costs
by thousands of dollars. Visit www.allthingsinsurance.net
for more details.
If you have a work place accident that requires
your state or federal OSHA to visit your place of business, the
very first item they will ask for is to review your currently maintained
Injury & Illness Prevention program (IIP). Fines and Civil penalties
are climbing to amounts well beyond $10,000.00.
If your current Injury & Illness Program is
outdated, we can provide updated information to implement so to
keep you updated and under current compliance. View this tab for
updates and pricing.
