In California, every organization with 10 or more employees is required to have a written IIPP in place, and USC is committed to making your unit’s IIPP an effective tool for maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for all of us.
What is a unit?
To help make the IIPP more feasible to maintain, smaller departments have been grouped to form one unit, and some larger departments divided into multiple units. Your unit’s IIPP will clearly indicate how your unit is made up.
What is my role?
An IIPP Administrator has been identified for your unit and will be primarily responsible for customizing the IIPP Template to suit your unit’s needs. Everyone can help by responding to requests for information and participating in safety meetings. Check out the IIPP Template for details on your role and responsibilities, or check in with your IIPP Administrator to see your customized IIPP.
How do we submit the IIPP?
Once your IIPP Administrator has completed customizing the template for your unit, he or she will email the document to injuryprevention@usc.edu for final review and acceptance. If the Injury Prevention team has any suggested changes, we will work with your IIPP Administrator to incorporate these changes and send back the approved version to be shared with your whole unit and referenced as needed.
