California's Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) under Title 8 CCR §3203 must include all of the following written elements EXCEPT:
Explanation
Section 3203(a) lists the required elements, and options (a), (b) and (c) are three of them: (a)(1) identifies the person with authority and responsibility for implementing the programme, (a)(5) requires a procedure to investigate occupational injury or illness, and (a)(4) requires procedures for identifying and evaluating workplace hazards, including scheduled periodic inspections. An injury-free bonus appears nowhere, and it is the one item here that can work against the programme: a payment that lands only if nobody reports an injury gives the crew a reason not to report, which collides with the (a)(3) duty to encourage reporting without fear of reprisal and with Labor Code section 6310. Employers may recognise safe WORK PRACTICES - (a)(2) names recognition as one acceptable means of securing compliance - which is a different thing from paying for the absence of reports.
