Injury and Illness Prevention

REQUIREMENT I.A.

IDENTIFY RESPONSIBLE PERSON

CA Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 3203 requires districts to identify one or more people who have both the responsibility for implementing the safety program and the authority to implement it.

Authority means they have the power to:

1. Implement an employee recognition program.

2. Implement a disciplinary program when employees fail to follow rules and instructions.

3. Implement a system for identifying hazards.

4. Implement an accident/injury investigation procedure.

5. Implement a procedure that ensures corrections are made to unsafe conditions and unsafe actions in a timely manner.

Any district naming a person who does not have this authority will not be in compliance.  If cited by Cal/OSHA a second time, the district will receive a repeat violation, which places the district's workers' compensation self-insurance program in jeopardy.
