The IIPP document is divided into the following sections: I. Policy, II. Responsibility, III. Compliance, VI. Hazard
Assessment, V. Accident/Exposure Investigation, VI. Hazard Correction, VII.Training, VIII. Communication, IX.
Recordkeeping, and X. Heat Injury Illness Prevention Plan. The goal of the IIPP is to eliminate or reduce
occupational injuries and illnesses and if an incident occurs, to learn from those in order improve workplace
safety in the future.
I. POLICY
This IIPP has been developed and implemented as required under the California Code of Regulations Title 8,
Chapter 4, Subchapter 7, Section 3203 (See Appendix A). MSJC adopted Board Policy 7600 in an effort and
commitment to follow these State mandates in order to provide a safe and healthful workplace for all of its
employees (See Appendix B). The IIPP provides general guidelines on equipment use, safe work practices and
safe working conditions. While the environment of each workplace may vary, these basic guidelines should
be followed as closely as possible by all employees. Section 3203 of Cal/OSHA regulations also pertains to
policies as well as compliance with workplace safety applicable to this Program (See Appendix A).
It is intended that this policy always be a work in progress. To that end, the IIPP will be reviewed annually
and even more often, when and where immediate changes are needed to ensure a safe working environment
and safe work practices.
2
II. RESPONSIBILITY
a. Vice President of Business Services
The ultimate responsibility for establishing and maintaining effective health and safety policies specific to District
facilities and operations rests with the Vice President of Business Services. Thereto, the general policies, which
govern the activities and responsibilities of the IIPP resides under the Vice President of Business Services.
b.
Administrators and Deans
It is the responsibility of Administrators and Deans to develop procedures which ensure effective
compliance with the IIPP as well as any other health and safety policies related to operations under their
control.
c.
Directors and Supervisors
Directors and Supervisors are responsible for enforcement of this Program among the employees under their
direction by setting acceptable safety policies and procedures for each employee to follow. In addition, each
Director and Supervisor must confirm that safety responsibilities are clearly outlined in the job descriptions
that govern the employees under their direction and that appropriate job specific safety training is available
and completed.
Supervising others also carries the responsibility for knowing
how to safely accomplish the tasks assigned each
employee, for budgeting and purchasing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), and for evaluating
employee c
ompliance with the IIPP. As such, Supervisors have an integral role with the success of IIPP.
The generic responsibilities for Supervisors with the IIPP also include:
1. Taking any reasonable action necessary to prevent injuries where an immediate danger exists.
2. Taking responsibility for the safety of all employees even those not under their supervision but in the
supervisors work area.
3. Ensuring a clean and hazard-free work area.
4. Providing a safety orientation to new employees under their direction.
5. Planning, conducting, and documenting safety evaluations in assigned areas of responsibility.
7.
Conducting safety observations.
d.
Employees
It is critical that employees follow the guidelines as outlined in this document, attend training, and to adhere to
job specific IIPP protocols.
The generic responsibilities for employees include:
1. Reading and abiding to all of the requirements of the IIPP.
3
6.
Provide, plan and track specific training for employees.
2. Adhering to all safety rules and operating procedures established by the District.
3. Attending to all health and safety trainings pertaining to the college and to specific job duties.
4.
Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as required and provided by the District.
5. Inspecting and maintai
ning equipment for proper and safe operation.
6.
On
ly operating equipment for which proper training and supervisor approval has been established.
7
. Reporting any safety hazards or defective equipment immediately to an area supervisor.
8. Immediately reporting all workplace injuries and/or illnesses.
e. District Safety Committee
The responsibility of the District Safety Committee is to provide a link of communication between employees
and management of the IIPP. In addition, the Safety Committee will monitor the effectiveness of the IIPP and
make recommendations to the appropriate parties on how to improve the document and the strategies
needed for its effective implementation.
The District Safety Committee should meet monthly and the agenda of the meeting will consist, in part, of
r
eviewing accidents and injuries, reporting hazardous conditions and reporting the findings of safety evaluations.
f. Business Services Depa
rtment
The Business Services Department provides leadership and oversight for developing and managing the IIPP
and will be responsible for ensuring the IIPP is accessible via the college website. The Business Services
department will review this document annually with information gathered and recommended by the District
Safety Committee.
III. COMPLIANCE
The District and all its employees are responsible for compliance with the IIPP and with Section 3203 of
Cal/OSHA regulations.
a.
District Compliance
MSJC is committed to providin
g all employees a safe and healthy work environment. The District is also
committed to providing all necessary PPE and safety training to emp
loyees at no cost. The District maintains
an open door policy allowing all employees to communicate safety concerns. Furthermore, the District is
committed to adhering to all Federal, State, an
d Local Health and Safety regulations and will provide full
cooperation with any applicable outside agency during the course of any inspection or audit.
b. Employee Compliance
MSJC believes that employee compliance should be encouraged at every opportunity. By taking a
proactive and positive attitute towards safety, everyone can help reduce workplace injury. To that end,
employee compliance with all rules and regulations is essential to maintaining a safe and healthy workplace.
Employees found to be out of compliance will be subject to retraining and may receive disciplinary action.
4
MSJC utilizes retraining for employees who do not follow District policies, rules and procedures. In the
event an employee violates any safety rule or requires any counseling as a result of unsafe work practices, the
District will follow the disciplinary procedures specified in the employee’s respective collective bargaining unit
agreement. Administrators, Deans, Directors and Supervisors may utilize the following: retraining, verbal
counseling, written warnings and other appropriate forms of disciplinary action depending on the severity of,
and risks associated with, any violation(s).
Administrators, Deans, Directors and Supervisors will also provide a variety of forms of positive reinforcement
or recognition to those employees who demonstrate safe work practices to further promote workplace safety.
IV. HAZARD ASSESSMENT
A health and safety inspection program is essential in order to establish, monitor and enhance safe workplace
environments. It is the responsibility of the Vice President of Business Services, working with the Director of
Risk Management and Support Services, to
ensure that appropriate college-wide safety inspections are
conducted periodically.
Scheduled Safety Inspections
Annual inspections will be performed on all campus areas. Semi-annual inspections will be performed of all
potentially hazardous areas such as shops, cafeterias, warehouses, gymnasiums, labs, and alike. Any workplace
hazards revealed will be documented, assessed, and corrected in a timely manner depending on the relative risk
to employees, students, or visitors. All inspections will be documented. With prior supervisor approval,
inspection reports may be modified or supplanted where needed for specialized workplace environments.
Inspections will occur district-wide and cover any and all workplace areas.
Unscheduled Safety Inspections
Additional safety inspections will be conducted whenever new equipment or changes in procedures are
introduced into the workplace that may present potential safety concerns. The Facilities Department will
conduct periodic unscheduled safety inspections of all potentially hazardous areas to assist in the maintenance
of a safe workplace.
V. ACCIDENT/EXPOSURE INVESTIGATION
Safety reviews will be conducted wh
en occupational accidents occur to identify and correct hazards that may
have contributed to the accident/exposure. Administrators, Deans, Directors and Supervisors will investigate
all accidents, injuries, occupational illnesses and near-miss incidents to identify the root cause of any incident.
Any corrective action, including appropriate repairs or procedural changes, will be implemented promptly to
correct the hazards associated in these incidents. A Supervisor’s Accident Investigation Report must be
completed for every accident/exposure that occurs on District property involving the injury or illness of a
District employee and/or student (See Appendix C).
Additionally, workers' compensation forms may need to be completed. Any questions about the workers'
compensation process or the forms for completion, please contact the Risk Management Coordinator (See
Appendix D for contact information and references).
5
VI. HAZARD CORRECTION
All hazards identified will be promptly investigated and alternate procedures implemented as indicated. The
District recognizes that hazards range from those of relatively low risk to imminent dangers. Likewise,
corrective actions or plans are implemented according to relative risk and include appropriate timetables for
completion. Hazard correction is the responsibility of the Administrator or Vice President of Business
Services working in conjunction with the Risk Management Coordinator.
VII. TRAINING
Effective dissemination of safety information lies at the very heart of a successful any IIPP. All employees must
be trained in general safe work practices. In addition, specific instruction with respect to hazards unique to
each employee’s job assignment will be provided. All new employees of MSJC are scheduled to attend a new
hire orientation. The trainings offered will be documented and placed in the employee’s personnel file. Safety
training will be conducted both in person and through other appropriate outside sources such as the Keenan
Safe Colleges program. Listed below is a snapshot of safety training offered to employees (additional training is
available):
Fire Safety, Evacuation and Emergency Procedures
Bloodborne Pathogens
Hazard Communication (SDS)
Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP)
Other training may be requir
ed of certain employees may include:
Job specific safety training
Bloodborne pathogens
Injury Reporting
Mandated Reporting
Summoning for emergency help
Chemical Hygiene
Immediate response to emergencies
General Safe Work Practices
Job specific training at a minimum entails how to use workplace equipment, safe handling of hazardous
materials and use of PPE. Training must be completed before beginning to work on an assigned piece of
equipment and whenever new hazards or changes in procedures are implemented.
The Vice President of Business Services, or designee, is responsible for providing Administrators, Deans,
Directors and Supervisors with the training necessary to familiarize themselves with the safety and health
hazards their employees might find themselves exposed to. It is the responsibility of each Administrator, Dean,
Director and Supervisor to make themselves aware of this training opportunity to be familiar with the hazards
related to their employee’s job tasks.
D
irectors and Supervisors
w
ill
en
sure that employees are trained whenever new substances, processes,
procedures or equipment are introduced to the workplace which may create new hazards and when hazards
are brought to a supervisor’s attention.
All training will be documented and kept in employee files. The Employee Training Record Form is an
example of what may be used for this purpose (See Appendix E).
6
VIII. COMMUNICATION
Effective two-way communication, which involves employee input on matters of workplace safety, is essential
to maintaining an effective IIPP. To foster better communication, the following guidelines will be implemented:
1.
Administrators, Deans, Directors and Supervisors will provide time at periodic staff meetings to
discuss safety topics. Status reports will be given on safety inspections, hazard correction projects, and
accident/exposure investigation results, as well as feedback to previous employee suggestions.
Employees will be encouraged to participate and give suggestions.
2.
Additional communication methods to be used as a way to dispense important information will
be done through posters, meetings, manuals, newsletters, bulletins and warning labels.
3. Employees are encouraged to bring to the District’s attention any potential health or safety hazard
that may exist in the workplace. This can be done by simply alerting the Supervisor, the District
Maintenance and Operations Supervisor, the Director of Risk Management and Support Services, or the
Risk Management Coordinator. Supervisors will follow up all on these safety concerns and use effective
two-way c
ommunication with all interested parties to correct the potential hazard to workplace safety.
IX.
RECORDKEEPING
Many standards and regulations of Cal/OSHA contain requirements for the maintenance and retention of
records for occupational injuries and illnesses, medical surveillance, exposure monitoring, inspections, and other
activities relevant to occupational health and safety. To comply with these regulations, as well as to
demonstrate that the critical elements of the IIPP are being implemented, the District Office will keep on file
copies of all accident/exposure investigations and Safety Committee meeting agendas for a period of no less
than five years. Training documents are to be kept on file for at least one year (or sometimes longer).
The District
will ensure that these files are available to Cal/OSHA or other appropriate regulatory agency
representatives
upon request. A review of these records will be conducted by Risk Management personnel
during routine inspections to confirm compliance with the Program.
X. HEAT INJURY A
ND ILLNESS PREVENTION PLAN
a. Purpose
The purpose of Heat Illness Prevention Plan (HIPP) is to meet the requirements set forth in the California
Code of Regulations, Title 8, and also to serve as a supplement to the Mt. San Jacinto Community College
District’s Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP). This information is intended, and must be used in
conjunction with the IIPP. The intent of this plan is to establish procedures and provide information
necessary to ensure that employees of the District are knowledgeable in the prevention, recognition, and
first aid treatment of heat related injury.
Heat related illnesses are avoidable if the employees are trained and the right actions are taken before, during
and after working in
high temperature workplace environments. Elevated temperatures, especially combined
with high humidity, can tax the body’s ability to cool itself making heat illness a great concern while working in
7
Southern California. Heat related injury occurs in three progressively severe forms known as heat cramps, heat
exhaustion, and heat stroke.
b.
Heat Cramps
Heat cramps are the most common type of heat related injury. Heat cramps are muscle spasms, which usually
affect the arms, legs or stomach. Heat cramps are caused when water and/or salts are not replaced quickly
enough to offset that which is lost through sweating. To avoid heat cramps, drink electrolyte solutions such as
sports drinks or plenty of water during the day in combination to with foods containing salts. Just drinking
copious amounts of water without electrolytes can also cause cramps and trick someone into even drinking
more water and thus exasperate cramping. Avoid caffeine, as this may make the condition worse.
c.
Heat Exhaustion
Heat exhaustion is more serious than heat cramps. Severe cramping, red skin color, and profuse sweating
characterize heat exhaustion. Additional symptoms may include headache, intense thirst, dizziness, fatigue, loss
of coordination, nausea, vomiting, impaired judgment, loss of appetite, hyperventilation, anxiety and a rapid
heart rate. The First Aid for an employee suffering these symptoms is to move to a cooler location such as a
shaded area or an air-conditioned building. Have the victim lie down, loosen their clothing, apply cool wet
towels and/or fan the person. Have the victim drink water or electrolyte drinks. In the event that some needs
medical attention due to heat illness, Call 911 (or dial 8-911 from a District phone) and contact Campus Safety at
x5188.
d. Heat Stroke
Heat stroke is a very serious medical emergency which may lead to death if not treated immediately. It occurs
w
hen the victim has lost the ability to sweat sufficiently and the core body temperature rises enough to cause
organ damage. The organ at greatest risk is the brain. A heat stroke victim may first suffer heat cramps and/or
heat exhaustion before progressing into heat stroke. It is very important to note that some victims go directly
into heat stroke without first having heat cramps or heat exhaustion. In addition, heat stroke is sometimes
mistaken for a heart attack. It is therefore very important to be able to recognize the potential causes and
symptoms of heat stroke anytime an employee collapses while working in a hot/humid environment.
Symptoms of heat stroke include a high body temperature (103 degrees Fahrenheit); a distinct lack or absence
of sweating; flushed skin; rapid pulse that in later stages and more severe cases becomes slower; difficulty
breathing; and any or all of the signs or symptoms of heat exhaustion such as dizziness, headache, nausea,
vomiting, or confusion. In more severe cases victims may become altered mentally and have a seizure, collapse,
and fall into a prolonged coma. Immediately Call 911 (or dial 8-911 from a District phone) to get the victim
medical attention as soon as possible. First Aid is also vital and focused towards lowering victim’s body
temperature. To lower the body temperature, get the victim out of the heat and into a cooler environment,
pour cool water on the person, fan them, and/or apply cold packs to the neck or armpits. Quick actions can
mean the difference between life and death in heat stroke.
e.
High Heat Protocols
When the temperature equals or exceeds 95
degrees Fahrenheit
,
the
District
will implement
High Heat
protocols that include a pre-shift meeting to review high heat procedures. The Heat Injury Illness
8
Prevention Plan is to be applied both outdoors and indoors. Employees must notify their supervisor
immediat
ely with any heat concerns, even if it is after
normal business hours. Supervision should not exceed
more than 20
employees during high heat weather conditions. Employees during these times use a mandatory
buddy system and/or maintain regular communication with sole employees via radio or phone. The supervisor
will designate one or more employees on each worksite as authorized to call for emergency medical services
but emphasize that all employees they are able to call for emergency service if needed without prior approval.
The supervisor will also remind all employees throughout the work shift to drink
plenty of water and stay
hydrated.
f.
Emergency Response Protocols
The District will train supervisors and employees to recognize the signs and symptoms of heat related illness
and how to take steps immediately to prevent the progression of heat illness. The training will include basic
First Aid. It is also important to train employees that heat illness victims should not be left alone nor sent
home without first aid and/or emergency medical services in accordance within the District’s guidelines
because severe heat related injury may mean that the victim is not able to make rational medical decisions
that are in their best interests.
g.
Precautions to Prevent Heat Illness
The District provides access to shade to allow the employee to cool down. Shade may be provided by any
natural or artificial means that does not expose employees to unsafe or unhealthy conditions and also does not
deter or discourage its access or use. The District maintains areas of shades throughout all sites where
employees are working and shade is made available during meal periods as well. Employees shall be allowed
and encouraged to take a preventative cool down rest in the shade when they feel the need to do so to
protect themselves from overheating. An individual employee who takes a preventative cool down rest shall
be monitored and asked if he or she is experiencing symptoms of heat illness. Employees are to be encouraged
to remain in the shade and shall not be ordered back to work until any signs of symptoms of heat illness have
abated for a period of time not less than 5 minutes in the shade. The District shall provide appropriate First Aid
or emergency medical care when employee exhibits signs or symptoms of heat illness.
HYDRATION
Hydration as a continuous process and should not be delayed until thirst sets in. Thirst typically means that a
person is already dehydrated. It is important to take breaks often during high temperature days and physical
exertion and to drink often during those breaks. Electrolyte drinks are good for replacing both water and salts
lost through sweating. Employees should avoid caffeinated beverages such as coffee, soda or energy drinks as
these liquids can have the opposite effect and can actually increase the level of dehydration.
Employees shall have access to potable drinking water, including but not limited to the requirements that it be
fresh, pure, suitably cool, and free of charge. The water shall be located as close as practicable to the areas
where employees are working. Employees will be allowed to take frequent breaks especially if any early
warning signs start to show up such as a headache or thirst.
ACCLIMATIZATION
Acclimatization is a process by which the body adjusts to increased heat exposure. The body needs time to
adapt when working in hotter environments and this may take hours to several days depending on the
employee and the particular day. Employees should condition themselves for working in hot environments by
9
starting slowly and then building up to higher temperature days and more physically demanding work. Of course,
when possible, employees should attempt the
physically demanding part of a particular job during the cooler parts
of the day. Preferably, in the morning to avoid the fatigue that follows the cooler late afternoon times.
During acclimatization, a supervisor (or designee) should closely observe all employees during a heat wave. For
purposes of this section only, a “heat wave” means any day in which the predicted high temperature for the day
will be at least 80 degrees Fahrenheit and at least ten
degrees Fahrenheit higher than the average high daily
temperature in the preceding five days. New employees will also be closely observed for the first 14 days of
employment to ensure they are adjusting to the high heat area. Particular viligence needs to take into account
the person's size, weight, physical condition and number of hours or days working in high heat environments.
Fluid and electrolyte imbalances and heat injury risk can be progressive in nature.
TRAINING
The training should be provided when an employee is initially hired. Heat-related illness training must also be
provided before the beginning of work with refresher training as needed during the times of expected elevated
temperatures/humidity. The training will be offered in the language so employees can understand and fully
comprehended the dangers and care of heat related injury. All training records will be kept on file in
accordance and as specified in the California Code of Regulations, Title 8, Section 3203 (Injury Illness
Prevention Program).
In conclusion, a safe and healthy workplace must be the goal of everyone at Mt. San Jacinto College and
likewise the responsibility is for everyone regardless of position or status. If you have any questions regarding
the Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP), please contact the Director of Risk Management and Support
Services or the Risk Management Coordinator.

Determine the cause of the accident/exposure
Understanding the root cause of an accident/exposure will allow management to prevent similar accidents from
recurring. Determining the root cause may be a difficult or arduous task. A diligent, honest and impersonal
investigation will allow management to understand the root cause.
Take corrective action to prevent the accident/exposure from recurring

It is the responsibility of the immediate supervisor to investigate all injuries or near misses and report on the
District’s Accident Investigation form. Supervisors will retain a copy and supply a copy to the Risk Management
Department.
Procedures for investigating employee injuries include:
Visit the accident/exposure scene as soon as possible
This will allow the supervisor to evaluate and report the scene of the accident/exposure before any alterations to
the scene can be made. I
t also allows the supervisor to be visible and available to employees in the area.
Interview injured workers and witnesses
Several points of view may be helpful in determining the actual cause of an accident/exposure. Always include
statements in the accident investigation report.
Examine the workplace for factors associated with the accident/exposure
ACCIDENT/EXPOSURE INVESTIGATION
It is essential to inspect the scene of the accident/exposure to determine if any hazards are present that may
cause future accidents.
Documenting the findings and corrective actions taken by completing the Supervisor's Accident Investigation
form. Attach all necessary information to the accident investigation report.

WORKER’S COMPENSATION AT MSJC
Step 1: Report WC injury immediately to your supervisor and then call Company Nurse:
1-877-518-6702
Immediately following phone call to Company Nurse, Risk Management will be
alerted to the injury and a Treatment Authorization form will be sent to the clinic
to authorize and expedite your care.
Step 2: After your medical office visit, please submit all paperwork to your direct
supervisor and the Risk Management department.
Step 3: Your supervisor will provide you with workers’ compensation (WC) forms. To
process your claim, please complete the forms and return to your supervisor.
Once Risk Management receives the workers’ compensation forms, they will
process through the insurance provider, Keenan & Associates, which will assist
with the coordination of treatment during your workers’ compensation injury.
Important Tips:
If you have questions about work restrictions, please ask the physician for clarification.
Attend all scheduled follow up appointments.
WC injury appointments include but are not limited to: initial injury, follow-up or physical
therapy and should always be communicated to your immediate supervisor. Time
away from work for WC related appointments will be reported on an absence request
form and included on your timesheet as workers’ compensation leave.
