As many employers now know, Senate Bill 553 (“SB 553”) mandates that covered employers implement their written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan(s) and employee training programs by July 1, 2024. On March 1, 2024, Cal/OSHA released a model Plan which employers may now use to get a head start on preparing their Plan(s). However, in addition to the Model Plan being fairly bare bones with lots of customization required, as is the case with new legislation, some uncertainties still remain. As noted below, contact one of our attorneys if you need assistance in preparing the final Plan(s) for your company.
