IIPP — Construction
Injury & Illness Prevention Program for construction employers. Trade-specific hazards, controls, citations.
The regulation that requires it in Illinois
Illinois follows federal OSHA standards with no approved state plan for private construction. The requirement for a written Injury and Illness Prevention Program is therefore drawn from the default citation Cal/OSHA §3203 / 29 CFR 1910.5.
Enforcing agency
Federal OSHA — Region V (public sector covered by IL OSHA) conducts inspections at Illinois workplaces. The agency issues citations and proposes penalties under federal authority. Public-sector employers fall under a separate Illinois state program that coordinates with federal OSHA on enforcement.
