California Workplace Prevention Law SB 553 | February 22, 2024

Rachel Conn, chair of the California Practice of Conn Maciel Carey LLP, walks through the requirements of the recently enacted Workplace Violence Prevention Law (SB 553). 

 The following items are required by the new California law by July 1st of this year:

1. An effective Written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP).

2. Initial and annual interactive Training for supervisors and non-supervisors.

3. Maintenance of a Violent Incident Log and Investigation Reports for every incident of workplace violence.

4. Evaluation of workplace violence hazards, including periodic inspections of the workplace.

These requirements may seem straightforward; however, compliance pitfalls await employers who fail to delve into them deeply, and responses to workplace violence incidents may expose employers to legal claims in other areas of the law.
