An Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) is a written workplace safety plan required of every California employer under 8 CCR §3203. There are no size exemptions - a one-employee RCFE must have an IIPP. It must identify workplace hazards, establish safe work practices, and include a training and inspection schedule.
The IIPP is a broad workplace safety program covering physical hazards, chemical safety, ergonomics, and PPE. The WVPP (sold separately for $129) is a specific plan focused on the Type 1-4 violence categories required by SB 553. Both are legally required, and this OSHA Manual includes guidance on how the WVPP integrates with your IIPP.
The OSHA 300 (Log of Work-Related Injuries and Illnesses) must be maintained by employers with 11 or more employees. It records every work-related injury or illness. The 300A (Annual Summary) must be posted each February through April. RCFEs with fewer than 10 employees are partially exempt but should still track incidents.
Cal/OSHA Standard 8 CCR §5193 requires healthcare settings - including RCFEs - to have a written Exposure Control Plan covering bloodborne pathogens. Staff must receive annual training. PPE (gloves, masks, gowns) must be provided at no cost to employees. This manual includes the exposure control plan template.
Cal/OSHA requires annual review of the IIPP and review after any work-related injury or near-miss event. The IIPP must be updated when new hazards are identified or when processes change (e.g., adding G-tube residents who require additional safe handling procedures).
