Injury & Illness Prevention Training

Learn how to access Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) safety training.

Purpose

UC San Diego developed the Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) in response to a state law that requires safety training for all employees. The program's purpose is to help employees understand and avoid on-the-job risks.

Requirement

All employees must attend an IIPP course once during their career at UCSD. New employees should attend within 30 days of hire. This includes student employees, graduate students, and visiting scholars who receive compensation from UCSD.

How to get the training

Attend one of the IIPP courses offered through Enrollment Central below, depending on the type of work performed:

• Research or high-hazard facilities: Laboratory Safety Principles/ IIPP
• Non-research facilities: Injury & Illness Prevention Program

About IIPP training

Discussion covers safety issues affecting all campus employees, including:

• An overview of Environment, Health & Safety (EH&S) services and programs
• Hazard awareness and communication
• Fire safety and evacuation procedures
• Emergency Operations Plan and earthquake safety
• Ergonomics resources

Participants receive a Certificate of Completion to be filed with other department safety records. It's a good idea to make a copy of your certificate to ensure proof of attendance if you transfer to another department at UCSD.

Group training

IIPP training can be customized for your work group and presented upon request. Group sessions are often the best use of everyone's training time, and usually the most successful way for supervisors and safety coordinators to get employees to a training seminar.

• Contact the EH&S safety training manager for details.
