A contractor's employee reports an unsafe condition on the job. Under the IIPP communication requirement, the employer must:

Explanation

Section 3203(a)(3) requires a system for communicating with employees in a form readily understandable by all affected employees, INCLUDING provisions designed to encourage employees to inform the employer of hazards without fear of reprisal; and once a hazard is reported, (a)(6) requires correction in a timely manner based on its severity. Each wrong answer adds a filter the standard does not allow. A writing requirement (b) suppresses exactly the informal report the system exists to invite, and Labor Code section 6310(a)(1) protects an ORAL complaint to the employer as fully as a written one. Waiting for a competent person to confirm (d) reverses the order - the report is what starts the assessment. And handing the report to the general contractor (c) leaves the subcontractor's own duty undischarged.
