Our organization only employs an onsite manager and several office workers. Does our organization have to have an injury and illness prevention program?
Yes. However, in 1993, Governor Wilson enacted reforms to make the law less burdensome on low-hazard industries with a low number of employees. Thus, businesses with 20 or fewer employees, who are not on the list of high-hazard industries will be relieved of many of the burdensome record keeping requirements. Those employers will be required to keep only limited written records such as the name of the person or persons responsible for implementing the program, records of periodic inspections and records of employee training.
