IIPP vs WVPP: You Need Both in California
The IIPP and the WVPP are two separate written plans California employers are legally required to maintain. The IIPP (Injury and Illness Prevention Program, 8 CCR 3203) covers workplace injuries and illnesses: hazard identification, inspections, correction, and training. The WVPP (workplace violence prevention plan, California Labor Code section 6401.9) covers workplace violence: incident reporting, emergency response, a violent incident log, and annual training. They have different required elements and different logs, so one cannot replace the other. Get both together for $149.

Why both, and why now
Both are non-discretionary for nearly every California employer. The IIPP has been required for decades; the workplace violence prevention plan requirement is newer and enforcement is active, so many contractors have the first and are missing the second. A Cal/OSHA inspection can ask for either.
Because the two plans coordinate (the workplace violence plan can be incorporated into or kept alongside the IIPP), it is simplest to produce them together, which is why we bundle them.

Common questions
▸Can the workplace violence plan be part of the IIPP?
Yes. California Labor Code section 6401.9 allows the workplace violence prevention plan to be incorporated into your IIPP or kept as a standalone document. Standalone is easier to hand to an inspector or client.
▸Does the IIPP cover workplace violence?
Not sufficiently on its own. Since Labor Code section 6401.9 took effect, workplace violence requires its own plan with a violent incident log and specific procedures the IIPP does not contain.
