The most frequently cited safety violation during L&I’s Division of Safety and Health inspections is the failure to have an Accident Prevention Program (APP) customized for each business location.
APPs are the very foundation of workplace safety programs, and if you don’t have an APP in place, you might owe it to L&I by writing them a check. According to L&I’s citation records report, the average fine for companies with 1-25 employees is $1,218, and for companies with 26-100 employees, the average is $2,073. If your company has at least one employee, you must have an APP.
Be sure to see the four APP related topics below to help you develop and update your Accident Prevention Program.
