Since 2017, health care employers in California have been required to implement workplace violence safety rules — but beginning July 1, 2024, nearly all employers in California will be required to abide by a workplace violence standard.
The new standard — enacted by Senate Bill 553, which Governor Gavin Newsom signed into law on September 30, 2023 — has a significant list of requirements that employers must review and address before many of its provisions take effect next year, so to help employers prepare, CalChamber’s employment law experts are holding a live webinar on November 2, 2023.
In the “California’s New Workplace Violence Standards” webinar, CalChamber’s experts will cover what non-health care employers should know about California’s new workplace violence standard, including explaining the new law and discussing how to:
- Create a written workplace violence prevention plan;
- Train employees to identify and report workplace violence hazards;
- Log workplace violence incidents;
- File workplace violence restraining orders; and
- Maintain records of compliance with SB 553.
