A written IIPP must, at minimum, identify the person or persons with authority and responsibility for implementing the program. What is this element commonly called?
Explanation
Section 3203(a)(1) is the first element: identify the person or persons with authority and responsibility for implementing the programme. The Division looks for a name, because the point of the element is accountability - a programme nobody owns is a programme nobody runs. The other three are genuine elements of the same programme doing other jobs: (a)(3) is the communication element, which moves safety information to employees in a form they understand and invites hazard reports without fear of reprisal; (a)(2) is the compliance element, which secures safe work practices through recognition, training, retraining and discipline; and (a)(6) is the correction element, which requires unsafe conditions to be put right in a timely manner based on severity.
