IIPP
The DOE 10 CFR Part 851, Worker Safety and Health Program,
establishes a framework for a worker protection program that
will reduce or prevent occupational injuries and illnesses, and
accidental losses by requiring DOE contractors to provide their
employees with safe and healthful workplaces. SLAC has been
granted a variance by creating an Injury and Illness Prevention
Program (IIPP) that complies with applicable California
Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA)
regulations in lieu of the requirements in 10 CFR 851 subpart C
and appendix A.
Cal/OSHA regulations and the IIPP are at least as effective
and have the same intentions as 10 CFR 851 and the Workers
Safety and Health Program (WSHP) – namely, providing an
environment that is safe for workers to work. Because of this
shared goal, there is substantial overlap between the two sets
of regulations. SLAC acknowledges that there are portions of
Subparts B and C and Appendix A that are not entirely covered by
Cal/OSHA regulations. To address those areas, SLAC has developed an IIPP per 8 CCR § 3203 and incorporated those
sections or an as-protective equivalent of 10 CFR 851 into the
IIPP, as needed, to provide a substantially equivalent level of
protection. As such, SLAC uses the combination of Cal/OSHA
regulations and requirements within the IIPP as alternative
means to comply with Subparts B, C and appendix A. Oversight and
enforcement of the IIPP remains with DOE.
