Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) Manual

The UCLA Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) is a guide to assist university administrators and supervisors to promote the health and safety of their employees. This IIPP complies with the Cal/OSHA requirement to provide a safe and healthful workplace for all employees. It establishes methods for identifying and correcting workplace hazards, providing employee safety training, communicating safety information, and ensuring compliance with safety programs. It is reviewed and updated annually to reflect any changes in regulations, personnel or procedures.

This program has been implemented locally within the Vice Chancellor for Research (VCR) organization based on the campus recommended guidelines which have been modified only to reflect roles, procedures, and workflow within the organization. IIPP Committee meetings, made up of representatives from each VCR unit/area, are held quarterly.
