Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP)
Overview, purpose and scope of UCLA Health System’s Injury and Illness Prevention Program. 

Accident Investigation 
To maintain a safe and healthy work environment, a thorough accident investigation should be conducted after an accident or incident to determine the cause of the incident and to ensure that appropriate follow-up, hazard communication, and hazard correction has occurred.

Job Safety Analysis 
A JSA describes job tasks in step-by-step fashion, identifies associated hazards at each step, and outlines proper hazard controls that minimize the risk of injury or illness to the individual(s) performing that task. Performing a JSA is not difficult; you and your co-workers can do it. Contact The Office of Environmental Health & Safety staff for additional information about JSAs.

Wellness
Office exercises and stretching throughout the day is a great way to reduce fatigue and tension, increase blood circulation and flexibility. It is recommended that you take a short break every hour or so to get up and move around; especially if you are working at a computer all day. By doing some simple stretches you can feel better and be more comfortable at the work space.
