Injury Illness Prevention Program

Objective: 

To define EHS Responsibilities defined by the Injury Illness Prevention Program (IIPP).

Statement: 

At SFSU, we believe that all occupational injuries and illnesses can be prevented and that safety is a fundamental responsibility of each administrator, supervisor, and employee of the University. 

We also believe that safety and occupational health must be thoroughly integrated with our efforts to produce a unique high quality education in a safe and healthy environment. 

Therefore, for the well-being of all employees and as a matter of policy,

Managers, Supervisors, and Administrators will:

• Ensure compliance with safe work practices
• Actively identify potential occupational health and safety issues
• Report and investigate all injuries, illnesses, and safety incidents
• Promptly eliminate hazards and correct deficiencies
• Educate and train employees to work safely

All employees are expected to:

• Perform their jobs in the safest manner prescribed.
• Conduct themselves in a way that enhances their personal safety and that of their fellow workers
• Report workplace hazards and to make suggestions for their control
• Cooperate and contribute toward the overall success of the program

These worthwhile objectives can only be achieved with the commitment and complete support of every employee of the University.
