Overview/Description
In the years since the introduction of the OSH Act, employers in the United States have seen a significant drop in the number of workplace injuries and deaths. However, the number of employee injuries and deaths remains unacceptable. In an effort to further encourage prevention and bring these numbers down, OSHA is working to implement Injury and Illness Prevention Program (I2P2) regulations that will require employers to implement and maintain an I2P2. However, working to implement an I2P2 now, instead of waiting for the regulation, has several benefits. First, your organization will be ready when OSHA's regulations do come into effect. Second, and perhaps more important, an I2P2 will help your organization prevent workplace injuries, illnesses, and fatalities, thereby protecting your employees and reducing the costs of responding to these incidences.
