SafetyQuestion 87 of 1632

Which document is required for EVERY California employer with one or more employees?

a.A written safety data sheet for every chemical
b.An Injury and Illness Prevention Program
c.A confined space entry permit for each vessel
d.An OSHA 300 log of recordable injuries and illnesses

Explanation

Labor Code section 6401.7 and section 3203 require EVERY California employer to establish, implement and maintain a written injury and illness prevention programme - no exemption by size, by industry or by hazard, which is exactly what makes it the answer here. The other three are real documents whose duty is conditional. A safety data sheet is owed for each hazardous chemical PRESENT, so an employer with none owes none (a). A confined space entry permit is owed only where a permit-required space is actually entered (c). And the Form 300 log carries partial exemptions: employers with ten or fewer employees throughout the previous calendar year, and establishments in certain lower-hazard industries, need not routinely keep it - though every employer still owes the serious-injury report under section 342.

Law Reference: Labor Code §6401.7; 8 CCR §3203(a); §5194(g); §5157(e); §14300.1-.2
