Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. To systematically identify and correct workplace hazards before injuries occur
Title 8 CCR §3203 requires every California employer to maintain a written IIPP designed to proactively identify, evaluate, and correct workplace hazards to prevent injuries and illnesses.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. Wage/hour documentation is a labor law matter, not part of the IIPP.
- C. Subcontractor lists relate to project management, not safety.
- D. Bonding is a CSLB licensing requirement unrelated to the IIPP.

A written, mandatory safety program under Title 8 CCR §3203 requiring employers to identify, evaluate, and correct workplace hazards.
