Injury and Illness Prevention ProgramsInjury and illness prevention plans (IIPP) are required by OSHA and designed to protect employees from preventable workplace injuries and illnesses. OSHA describes several plans with different purposes. This section describes each of these plans. Some elements are present in all of the plans, and others are related only to individual plans. OSHA requires the following plans: Safety and health management plan (also known as an injury and illness prevention plan) Emergency action plan (also referred to as an emergency response plan) Fire-prevention planGenerally, employers with 10 or fewer employees aren’t required to provide written plans unless they have been notified by OSHA to do so.
