Study Notes
Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP)
- IIPP stands for Injury and Illness Prevention Program.
- Essential for employers to demonstrate good faith in promoting workplace safety.
Hazard Control Measures
- The hierarchy of hazard control prioritizes: Engineering Controls, then Administrative/Work Practice Controls, and lastly Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
Risk Assessment Code (RAC)
- RAC is utilized to evaluate both the probability of hazardous events and the severity of hazards.
Elements of OSHA's IIPP Proposed Rule
- Important components include management responsibilities, employee participation, hazard identification and assessment, hazard prevention/control, education, training, and program evaluation.
Job Hazard Analysis (JHA)
- JHA focuses on job tasks to identify hazards, emphasizing the interactions between workers, tasks, tools, and the environment.
Incident Investigation
- Investigations should focus on understanding the causes of accidents or near misses and implementing actions to prevent recurrence, rather than assigning blame.
Investigation Requirements
- Serious injury incidents, lost time injuries, illnesses, and near misses necessitate investigation.
Elements of an Effective Safety and Health Program
- A comprehensive occupational safety and health program should incorporate management commitment, employee involvement, worksite analysis, hazard prevention/control, and training.
Common Goals of Safety Programs
- Different titles like IIPP and Accident Prevention Program aim to help employers reduce workplace injuries and address safety proactively through systematic processes.
Causes of Accidents/Incidents
- Accidents are typically caused by unsafe acts (personnel-related) and unsafe conditions (environment-related), requiring both aspects to be considered.
Corrective/Preventive Actions
- Effective actions must be accepted by both workers and managers, and should effectively mitigate or control hazards.
Accountability in Safety Programs
- Accountability for safety and health program responsibilities should encompass employees, supervisors, and managers.
