What the law requires

Every employer

One employee in California triggers the Injury and Illness Prevention Program: a written plan, inspections, training, and the records behind them.

8 CCR §3203

Ten or more, or open to the public

SB 553 adds a written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan, a violent incident log, and annual employee training.

Labor Code §6401.9

Proof is the hard part

Both laws are written in records: who was trained and when, what was inspected, what was found and what was fixed.

§3203(b) · §6401.9(f)

Free templates, built from the regulation text

Frequently asked questions

What is CompliantCA?

Guides and free templates for California workplace compliance — Cal/OSHA's IIPP rule and SB 553 — written from the regulations and cited throughout. We're building records-keeping tools next, in the open. Nothing is for sale yet.

Are the templates really free?

Yes. Each is a printable PDF: enter an email on the template's page and it's sent to you, with a direct download link on the confirmation page. No account, no card. We store your address and the page you came from — nothing else. See our privacy policy.

Do I need an IIPP?

8 CCR §3203 applies to every California employer with at least one W-2 employee — there is no small-employer exemption. Our Cal/OSHA IIPP guide walks through the eight required elements.

Does SB 553 apply to my business?

If you have 10 or more employees in California, or your workplace is accessible to the public, generally yes. Labor Code §6401.9(b) lists the narrow exceptions. Our SB 553 guide covers who must comply and what the law requires.

Is this legal advice?

No. CompliantCA organizes requirements that Cal/OSHA and the Labor Code publish. We are not a law firm, and filling in a template is not a determination that a program meets any requirement. Review your program with your safety officer or attorney.
