This training provides an in-depth look at Cal/OSHA requirements and the key responsibilities of a Competent Person on construction sites. Participants will gain a solid understanding of Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) fundamentals, including definitions, core components, roles, and responsibilities. The course covers essential topics such as hazard identification, communication, documentation, and daily inspection duties. Through case studies and group activities, attendees will apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios and learn how to conduct Job Hazard Analyses (JHAs) and implement site-specific safety plans. The session wraps up with practical tools, a final compliance checklist, and a Q&A to support effective IIPP execution on the jobsite.
In California, workplace safety is anchored by the Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP), which every employer is required to implement under Cal/OSHA regulations. The IIPP outlines core components such as assigning responsibilities, ensuring compliance, hazard assessment, training, and maintaining safety records. To support this, jobsite roles like the Competent Person are critical—these individuals have both the knowledge and authority to identify and correct hazards in real-time. Additionally, tools like Job Hazard Analyses (JHA) and Pre-Task Planning help proactively identify risks before work begins by breaking down tasks, assessing hazards, and implementing control measures.
If you’re looking to strengthen your knowledge and compliance with Cal/OSHA safety standards, we encourage you to take this class. It provides practical guidance, real-world examples, and essential tools to help you create a safer, more efficient jobsite—whether you’re a new employee, a supervisor, or a seasoned professional.
