SafetyQuestion 1345 of 1605
A contractor with 3 employees insists it is 'too small' to need any safety program. The correct response is:
a.Correct — programs start at 25 employees
b.Only sole proprietors with no employees are exempt from having employees' programs
c.Cal/OSHA still requires an IIPP and (for construction) a Code of Safe Practices regardless of small size
d.Correct — under 5 employees are fully exempt
Explanation
There is no small-employer exemption from having an IIPP; construction employers also need a Code of Safe Practices. (A true sole proprietor with zero employees has no employees to protect, which is different from being 'exempt.')
