I though that this was an interesting topic on OSHA's Injury and Illness Prevention Program (I2P2) to share with everyone.

AIHA Releases White Paper on OSHA’s Injury and Illness Prevention Program
At the request of OSHA, the American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) released a white paper concerning OSHA’s Injury and Illness Prevention Program (I2P2), a potential new rule that would require employers to find and fix hazards in their workplaces.
The AIHA paper stresses that an I2P2 standard should:
- Be broad in scope and “have the widest industry and employer coverage that the rulemaking process can tolerate;”
- Not exempt workplaces based on size or low injury rates;
- Cover contract/leased labor and multi-employer worksites;
- Be aware of potential documentation burdens on small employers;
- Not make exemptions based on employer-generated data;
- Consider exemptions for VPP Star workplaces.
