Injury Illness Prevention Program
This program includes a wide range of interactive policies, procedures and practices that are intended to help identify and control workplace hazards for California State University, Northridge employees.
I. Purpose
Purpose
It is the objective of California State University, Northridge (CSUN) to maintain an environment for faculty, staff, and students that will protect their health and prevent injury. Employees will not be required to perform tasks that are unreasonably hazardous. The University will establish and maintain a system of interactive policies, plans, programs, procedures and practices that are intended to help identify and control occupational hazards. In addition, departments will provide facilities and equipment that meet all applicable federal, state and local safety laws and regulations.
While the overall responsibility for campus health and safety rests with the President, the immediate responsibility for workplace health and safety belongs to each campus employee who performs a supervisory role. Each supervisor is expected to set productive objectives that are intended to advance the campus toward compliance with the laws and regulations. All faculty and staff are to ensure that safe and healthful conditions and practices are provided and followed within the areas under their control.
A COVID-19 Prevention Program (CPP) has been developed to address the requirements of the COVID-19 Prevention Emergency Temporary Standards and as a supplement to the Injury and Illness Prevention Program. The CPP is provided in Section XII, as an addendum to the Injury and Illness Prevention Program.
II. Objectives
An effective Injury and Illness Prevention Program will assist management in determining what hazards exist in the work place, how to correct hazards that may occur and what actions to take to prevent them from recurring.
The following objectives can be achieved by implementing the Illness and Injury Prevention Program:
Reduction of work-related injuries and illnesses, property loss and environmental impairment;
Development and implementation of safe and healthful work practices for each specific job performed by the University's employees;
Provision of general safety and health rules to all employees;
Adherence to disciplinary procedures to ensure that safety rules and work procedures are put into practice and enforced;
Satisfactory maintenance of equipment;
Prompt investigation of hazardous conditions, workplace accidents, near-miss incidents, and reported illness and injuries;
Prevention of hazards through inspections; and
