Course Overview
California Senate Bill 553, signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom, mandates comprehensive workplace violence prevention measures for employers. This legislation introduces a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP) that must be easily accessible to all employees and includes components like hazard identification, periodic inspections, emergency response procedures, and employee training. Employers are required to identify and evaluate workplace violence hazards, involve employees in the plan's development, and ensure continuous review and updates. The law prohibits retaliation against employees for reporting incidents and mandates detailed record-keeping, with all records maintained for a minimum of five years.
Additionally, the law requires specific employee training on identifying and responding to workplace violence hazards, reporting incidents, and seeking assistance from law enforcement or emergency services. Employers must maintain training records for at least one year. Furthermore, every workplace violence incident must be recorded in a Violent Incident Log, excluding personal identifying information to protect privacy. The log should detail the date, time, and location of the incident, a description of the incident, and the classification of the perpetrator. This proactive approach aims to create safer workplaces and ensures a structured response to potential threats, promoting a secure and supportive work environment for all employees.
