What Does I2P2 Do?
Most fatalities and life altering events that happen at workplaces don’t result from unknown or unpredictable circumstances, or from weird occurrences. The vast majority of these incidents continue to include the basics:
- Mobile equipment mishaps (distracted driving)
- falls
- contact with objects/ equipment
Most of these accidents are preventable, and that’s where your Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (abbreviated as IIPP or I2P2) fixes the problem.
The business case for an I2P2 plan:
1.Saves Money
- Less worker time off work
- Fewer injury claims
- Less paperwork
- Avoid liability in some situations
- Cost shift from short term “putting out fires” safety strategy to long-term preventive planning.
2.Streamlines Processes
- Shown to improve organizational productivity and financial performance
- Improves employee job performance

That’s where an I2P2 plan comes into play. In the next two parts of this article, I’ll go over the parts of an I2P2 plan and how to get the ball rolling to put one in place at your dealership.
