SafetyQuestion 578 of 700
Under Cal/OSHA, what safety document must every California construction employer establish and maintain in writing?
a.A marketing plan
b.Only a first-aid log
c.An effective written Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP)
d.A document only required for companies with over 100 employees
Explanation
Every California employer, including construction contractors, must establish, implement, and maintain a written Injury and Illness Prevention Program that assigns responsibility, identifies hazards, and provides training and correction of unsafe conditions. Option a is unrelated to safety. Option b is only a small part of a safety system. Option d wrongly limits the requirement by company size; it applies to all employers. The IIPP is the foundation of a compliant safety program.
