7. MINIMUM REQUIRED ELEMENTS IN AN IIPP

TRAINING
RECORDKEEPING 3
9/19/2018

8. IIPP MANAGEMENT COMITTMENT AND ASSIGNED RESPONSIBILITY
A person assigned as administrator with the responsibility for, and authority to implement the provisions of the program
NOTE: This person should be knowledgeable in all
aspects of the industry
Safety is everybody’s responsibility

9. IIPP COMPLIANCE: Safety Planning, Rules & Work procedures
Rules shall apply to everyone:
PPE
Appropriate clothing
expected behavior
Emergency procedures
Written emergency plans
Emergency response team if applicable

10. IIPP
COMPLIANCE cont.
Inform workers of IIPP provisions, and all other safety and health requirements
Evaluate safety performance of all workers
Recognize workers who perform safely
Provide training for safety deficiencies
Discipline workers for failure to comply

11. IIPP COMMUNICATION: New workers orientation Review of your IIPP
Workplace safety and health training
Regularly scheduled safety meetings
Distribution of safety information i.e., bulletin board, etc.
Suggestion system
Labor-management committee

12. IIPP HAZARD ASSESSMENT:
When the IIPP is initially established and when changes are made
Initial hiring
Periodically
New substances, processes or procedures
New hazards are identified
On-site injury or illness
Beginning of each shift for excavations/construction

13. Assessment Should Include:
Physical hazards
Hazardous materials
Employee work habits
Cal/OSHA Regulations
Title 8, California Code of Regulations (CCR), General Industry Safety Orders

14. Hazard Assessment Checklist
Material Handling
Product Storage
Housekeeping (e.g., clutter, floors, exits, stairs, walkways, aisles)
Ladders
Electrical
Lighting
Machine Guarding
Chemicals

15. Hazard Assessment Checklist
Fire Prevention
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
First Aid Program and Supplies
Evacuation Plan
Bloodborne Pathogens
Compressed Gas Cylinders
Identification of Piping Systems
Sanitizing Equipment and Clothing

16. HAZARD ASSESSMENT
The following 19 slides contains some Cal/OSHA violations and hazards, see if you can identify some of them.

36. IIPP ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION: NEAR-MISS INVESTIGATION, i.e.
Visiting the accident scene ASAP
Interviewing injured workers and witnesses
Examining the workplace causal factors
Taking corrective action to prevent recurrence
Document all actions taken during the investigation
NEAR-MISS INVESTIGATION, i.e.
An incident occurred but no worker injured.

37. Objectives Understand the basics of accident investigation Causes
Problem solving techniques
Investigative procedures
Report

38. Accident Causes Accidents usually are complex Three causation levels
Direct Cause
Energy or hazardous material
Indirect Cause
Unsafe acts and conditions
Basic Causes
Management Safety Policies & Decisions
Personal Factors
Environmental factors

40. Problem Solving Techniques
Example: “Root Cause Analysis”
Entire chain of events is evaluated to find “root causes" as well as the immediate cause
Direct Causes
Surface Causes
Root Causes
Root causes are safety system inadequacies

41. The “Accident Weed”

42. Accident Investigation Procedures
Require the prompt reporting of all accidents
Investigate all accidents, and
"Near-miss" incidents
Conduct a thorough investigation
Written documentation
Action taken to prevent recurrence
Inform Cal/OSHA of work related accidents resulting in serious injury, hospitalization for over 24 hours for other than observation, or death

43. Accident Investigation Procedures
Find facts, not fault
What happened
Why did the accident happen
How a similar accident can be prevented
What action has been taken

44. Report of Investigation
The investigation is not complete until a report is prepared and submitted
Recommended outline:
Date & Time of Accident
Location
Accident Description
Employees Involved
Preventive Action Recommendations
Corrective Actions Taken
Manager Responsible
Date Completed
NOTE: A Form 301 shall be completed

45. IIPP HAZARD CORRECTION/CONTROL: When observed or discovered, or ASAP
If imminent hazard remove workers immediately
All actions taken shall be documented

46. Hierarchy of Control
This hierarchy of control provides an ordered mitigation strategy to remove or reduce the hazard:
Elimination
Substitution
Engineering
Administrative
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

47. Hazard Control
When deciding on the best way to control a risk, start at the top of the hierarchy of controls, check to see if the risk can be eliminated first.
If the risk cannot be eliminated proceed to the next stage and check for any substitutes available and so on.

48. Hazard Control
Elimination - Removing the hazard at source of the risk.
Substitution - Finding and replacing the problem with less hazardous one (for example, replacing solvent based paints with water-based paint).

49. Hazard Control
Engineering - Protecting the element at risk, usually human, by installing protective barriers or guards. An example would be hand railing on stairs or an automatic shield on a saw.

50. Hazard Control
Administrative – To reduce duration, frequency, and severity of employee exposure (job rotation). Establishing safe work practices. Implementing a procedure or business management system when working in a particular fashion or environment.

51. Hazard Control
Personal Protective Equipment – Equipment, clothing or other forms of protection to present a barrier between worker and hazards (safety glasses, ear plugs, protective clothing etc.).

52. IIPP
TRAINING:
When the IIPP is first established, general safety and health practices
Initial hiring and or new assignments
Whenever new substances, processes, procedures or equipment are introduced
New hazards
To all workers for specific Jobs

53. IIPP
RECORDKEEPING:
Everything shall be documented
