1 IIPP for the Construction Industry Can you defend your IIPP against AB 2774? Brian Murphy Vice President Heffernan Insurance Brokers North Bay Branch (Direct) (Cell) (Fax) Facilitator: Cathi L. Marx; ALCM, COSS, CHS-V March 1, 2012
2 SB198 Title Injury & Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) What is AB 2774 (overview) Corporate Criminal Liability Act Injury & Illness Prevention Program Components
3 AB 2774 Effective January 1, 2011 Federal OSHA critical of California s delegated state plan as being lax on serious violations: Federal OSHA -> 77% of all citations classified as serious All State plans -> 43% serious California -> only 19% serious lowest Federal OSHA wants California to significantly increase violation penalties.
4 Background: How did we get here? Critics, including many DOSH staff, complain that the Occupational Safety & Health Appeals Board (OSHAB) limits the definitions and criteria for upholding serious violations: serious injury or illness [LC 6302(h)] substantial probability
5 New Requirements: What does AB 2774 mean? It s an extremely important change in the law. It changes a fundamental definition in classifications. It s certainly the largest change in the eight years I ve been here. DOSH Chief Counsel Amy Martin Labor Code Section 6432 totally repealed and replaced with new Section 6432: Establishes first ever rebuttable presumption in Safety Orders! no longer presumed innocent until proven guilty ; employer must overcome DOSH s alleged violation descriptions ( AVD ) it intends to cite as serious.
6 New Requirements: What does AB 2774 mean? New Section 6432: realistic possibility now replaces old substantial probability (e.g. 51%) Who defines realistic? DOSH! Isn t anything a possibility?
7 New Requirements: What does AB New Section 6432: 2774 mean? + The demonstration of a violation by the division is not sufficient by itself to establish that the violation is serious. The actual hazard may consist of, among other things: (1) A serious exposure exceeding an established permissible exposure limit.
8 New Requirements: What does AB New Section 6432: 2774 mean? + The actual hazard may consist of, among other things: (2) The existence in the place of employment of one or more unsafe or unhealthful practices, means, methods, operations, or processes that have been adopted or are in use. {LC 6432(a)}
9 New Requirements: What does AB New Section 6432(b)(1): 2774 mean? + Before issuing a citation alleging that a violation is serious, the division shall make a reasonable attempt to determine, among other things, all of the following: (A) Training for employees and supervisors relevant to preventing employee exposure to the hazard or to similar hazards. How similar is similar?
10 New Requirements: What does AB New Section 6432(b)(1): 2774 mean? + reasonable attempt to determine, among other things, all of the following: (B) Procedures for discovering, controlling access to, and correcting the hazard or similar hazards. Likely cookie cutter IIPP s will fail.
11 New Requirements: What does AB 2774 mean? New Section 6432(b)(1): + reasonable attempt to determine, among other things, all of the following: (C) Supervision of employees exposed or potentially exposed to the hazard.
12 New Requirements: What does AB New Section 6432(b)(1): 2774 mean? + reasonable attempt to determine, among other things, all of the following: (D) Procedures for communicating to employees about the employer s health and safety rules and programs..
13 New Requirements: What does AB 2774 mean? New Section 6432(b)(1): + determine, among other things, all of the following: (E) Information that the employer wishes to provide, at any time before citations are issued, including, any of the following: (i) employer s explanation of circumstances (ii) why employer believes not a serious violation (iii) employer belief its actions were reasonable and responsible
14 New Requirements: What does AB 2774 mean? New Section 6432(c): If the division establishes a presumption the employer may rebut and establish that a violation is not serious by demonstrating that the employer did not know and could not, with the exercise of reasonable diligence, have known of the presence of the violation.
15 New Requirements: What does AB 2774 mean? New Section 6432(c): The employer may accomplish this by demonstrating all of the following: (1) The employer took all the steps a reasonable and responsible employer in like circumstances should be expected to take, before the violation occurred,
16 New Requirements: What does AB 2774 mean? New Section 6432(c): The employer may accomplish this by demonstrating all of the following: (1) to anticipate and prevent the violation, taking into consideration the severity of harm that could be expected to occur and the likelihood of that harm occurring in connection with the work activity (2) The employer took effective action to eliminate employee exposure to the hazard created by the violation as soon as the violation was discovered.
17 What can be done to minimize its impact? (DOSH Chief Len Walsh) Document, document, document; then document the process of documentation! No longer will those cheap and canned IIPPs be acceptable. An incomplete or amateur IIPP can generate as much as a $5000 fine for an employer. Employers must be able to demonstrate that they are paying attention.
18 What can be done to minimize its impact? Defense expert Kevin Bland, Esq But you should be alarmed if you only have a paper safety program that doesn t have any teeth. By applying the realistic probability standard, we as employers get to assert an affirmative defense.
19 What can be done to minimize its impact? Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, LLP Likely the number of citations for serious violations will increase, in part because of expanded definition of serious physical harm and change from substantial probability to a realistic possibility that death or serious physical harm could result from the actual hazard created by the violation. Key words are anticipate, prevent and eliminate employee exposures.
20 Corporate & Criminal Enforcement It is the policy of the Division of Occupational Safety and Health to implement the California Corporate Criminal Liability Act (Penal Code 387) by receiving notifications of serious concealed dangers, by maintaining appropriate records concerning any such notifications, by making a referral if the serious concealed danger falls within the jurisdiction of another governmental agency and by investigating any serious concealed danger which falls within the jurisdiction of the Division, as appropriate.» California Labor Code 6425 and/or,» California Penal Code 387 and/or,» California Penal Code 192

35 6. Methods & procedures for correcting unsafe or unhealthy conditions & work practices in a timely manner Hazard Correction -- Whether methods and/or procedures for correcting unsafe or unhealthful work conditions, work practices and procedures, in a timely manner based on the severity of the hazard, are set forth in the employer's written IIP Program. Specific abatement methods must be included in the employer's IIP Program and must address: (a) when unsafe or unhealthful conditions, work practices or procedures are observed or discovered; and (b) when an imminent hazard exists which cannot be immediately abated without endangering employee(s) and/or property, all exposed personnel must be removed from the area except those necessary to correct the existing condition.

38 8. Record Keeping All records to be kept for three years, unless employer qualifies for an exception to this (see exceptions) Recordkeeping -- Whether there is adequate written documentation of the steps taken to implement and maintain the employer's Program including: Records of scheduled and periodic workplace inspections, including person(s) conducting the inspections, any unsafe condition and/or work practice which has been identified, the action and timetable for correction of the identified hazards, and whether, for employers with ten or more employees, the records have been maintained for at least three years;
39 Records of safety and health training, including employee name or other identifier, training dates, the type(s) of training, training providers, and whether, for employers with ten or more employees, the records have been maintained for at least three years. (Best Practice: for term of employment plus 5 years but make sure you they are organized well and secure.) EXCEPTION: For employers with fewer than ten employees, a log of instructions can be maintained which provided instruction to the employee with respect to the hazards unique to the employee's job assignment when first hired or assigned new duties; Documentation of training for each employee is called for in the program Employers in the construction industry who are required to be licensed may use records relating to employee training provided to the employer in connection with an occupational safety and health training program approved by the Division, and shall only be required to keep records of those steps taken to implement and maintain the program with respect to hazards specific to the employee s job duties.
