is primarily used to find solutions to prevent injuries, and make
your workstation more comfortable. Audience: Open to the campus
community.

equipment could prevent these losses, but often workers fail to

Injury
& Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) Training
The
California Labor Code and Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations
both require the development and enforcement of a policy, such as
an “Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP).” The
university has developed a program in the form of the “Environmental
Health and Safety Policy.” This Policy addresses many issues
and clearly identifies: the responsibilities of managers; communication
procedures; identifying and evaluating hazards; inventorying and
labeling requirements; hazard investigation and mitigation; training;
and record keeping requirements. Each of these items is presented
and discussed in the training given to all employees. Audience:
