Injury and Illness Protection

The Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) is a basic written workplace safety program. Title 8 of the California Code of Regulations (T8CCR) section 3203, requires every employer to develop and implement an effective IIPP. 

The Board of Trustees of the Kern High School District first adopted this plan in July of 1991.

District employees, or their designated representatives, have the right to examine and receive a hardcopy of the IIIPP. This will be accomplished by providing access in a reasonable time, place, and manner, but in no event later than five (5) business days after the request for access is received from an employee or designated representative:

1. Whenever an employee or designated representative requests a copy of the Program, the district will provide the requester a printed copy of the IIPP, unless the employee or designated representative agrees to receive an electronic copy of the IIPP.
2. One printed copy of the IIPP will be provided free of charge. If the employee, or designated representative, requests additional copies of the IIPP within one (1) year of the previous request and the IIPP has not been updated with new information since the prior copy was provided, we may charge reasonable, non-discriminatory reproduction costs for the additional copies. 

• • The name and signature of the employee authorizing the designated representative.
  • The date of the request.
  • The name of the designated representative.
  • The date upon which the written authorization will expire (if less than 1 year).
