Under the IIPP standard at Title 8 CCR §3203, an employer must conduct hazard assessment inspections:

Explanation

Section 3203(a)(4) ties inspections to events, not to a calendar: when the programme is first established; whenever new substances, processes, procedures or equipment are introduced that represent a new occupational safety and health hazard; and whenever the employer is made aware of a new or previously unrecognised hazard - alongside the scheduled periodic inspections the same subsection requires. Option (a) substitutes an annual cycle and an injury for those triggers, and by the time there is a recordable injury the hazard has already found someone. Option (c) waits for the Division, which is backwards: the inspection records are what the Division asks to see, so they have to exist first. Option (d) borrows the quarterly minimum for a labour-management safety committee from (c)(1), which is one way to satisfy the COMMUNICATION element.
