This resource was created for the small business owner or the nonprofit director that's looking for high-quality support in creating an Injury and Illness Prevention Program, Workplace Violence Prevention Program, and/or a COVID-19 Prevention Protocols that won't break the bank. Your downloadable template is the same base document that our team uses within our law firm!

Injury and Illness Prevention Programs: Effective July 1, 1991, ALL California employers with at least one (1) employee are required to have an effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program (“IIPP”), and it needs to be in a form that’s understood by all employees. With very limited exceptions, the IIPP is required to be in writing.

Workplace Violence Prevention Plans: Starting July 1, 2024, the majority of employers in California must establish, implement, and maintain a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan ("WVPP"). Similar to the IIPP, within each topic of the WVPP, there are specific requirements for information that needs to be communicated.

COVID-19 Prevention Protocols: On December 15, 2022, California adopted non-emergency COVID-19 prevention regulations for that apply to most workplaces. One of the requirements of these regulations is that all employers address COVID-19 as a workplace hazard, either directly in the IIPP or in a separate document.

This resource will not be the perfect fit for every employer, and we want to save you some money before downloading!

You should NOT use this resource if you fall into any of the following categories:

• Your workplace has fewer than ten (10) employees on-site at a time and is not open to the public; or
• All employees are teleworking from a location of each employee’s choice, which is not under the control of the employer; or
• You work in in-patient healthcare or other emergency/high risk medical facilities, which are governed by their own rigorous standards; or
• You provide housing or a company vehicle to your employees; or
• The sole employees of the company interested in purchasing this resource are also the company's owners.

This doesn't mean you're off the hook; you may still be required to comply with the laws that create these requirements. However, you'll need more specialized help and should consult an attorney.
