Injury and Illness Prevention Program

every California employer. Such a program includes improved workplace safety and health,
better morale, increased productivity, and reduced costs of doing business.
The worker must keep a grip on the ladder at all times of two hands and one foot or one
hand and two feet
Explanation:
Aside form the three-point control method there is also the three-point contact method.
The control method requires a worker to use three of the four limbs on the ladder, while the
contact method requires the worker to use three points of contact with the ladder. For
instance, the use of a palm of stomach as a form of contact with the ladder in addition to
the two fee is considered the contact method. The three-point contact method is not the
preferred method to use because it is more dangerous and the worker will not have
sufficient stability to prevent a fall or a slip.

PPE must meet or exceed standards that are developed by the American National
Standards Institute (ANSI). An employee can bring their own PPE to a workplace but it must
meet or exceed requirements established by the ANSI and be approved by the employer.
Ground-Fault Circuit Interrupter
Explanation:
GFCIs sense ground faults and cut off power in the circuit. They also sense the amount of
current that goes into a device against how much returns. If a change as little as 5mA
occurs, a GFCI has 1/40th of a second to cut the power. GFCI's are used in wet areas such as
bathrooms, kitchens and other places where water is prevalent.
