The printing and graphic communications industry has the unique ability—and to some extent responsibility— to play a role in the upcoming political election.

Please take a few seconds to watch this video about what our industry faces legislatively in the upcoming election and what we can do together now to help elect a pro-print, pro-business Congress. Each legislative challenge can affect you, your company, and your employees, so it’s critical we work together in this effort.

After watching this special message, please consider making a financial investment in our industry’s political advocacy.

In California every employer has a legal obligation to provide and maintain a safe and healthful workplace for employees, according to the California Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1973. As of 1991, a written, effective Injury and Illness Prevention (IIP) Program is required for every California employer.

An Injury and Illness Prevention Program (often called a SB 198 Program) must be in writing and be effective. This downloadable guide will allow you to create a written Injury Illness Prevention Program. Once you finish filling out the forms you will have a basic Illness Prevention Program.
