SCORE Webinar: “What is a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan, and How to be Compliant”

SB 553 was signed by Governor Newsom in September 2023 mandating that nearly every employer in California create and implement a workplace violence prevention plan by July 1, 2024. Many small businesses lack the experience and resources to create and implement a workplace violence prevention plan. This seminar will answer these critical questions every business owner needs to know to comply with SB 553:

• What is workplace violence?

• Which business are required to have a workplace violence prevention plan?

• What is a workplace violence risk assessment?

• What is a workplace violence prevention plan?

• What are the training requirements?

• What is a workplace violence incident log, and what is required to be recorded?
