This is **not the same** as harassment prevention training—it's a new requirement focused on preventing and responding to workplace violence. - A written plan tailored to each worksite - Training for all employees - Incident log and hazard corrections - Annual review and record keeping ![Workplace violence 2](https://info.calchamber.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Workplace%20violence%202.webp?width=600&height=319&name=Workplace%20violence%202.webp "Workplace violence 2") ### What You Need to Know Before You Start Before you start, it helps to understand what California’s Workplace Violence Prevention requirement really means. #### What It Is:      A California safety requirement (effective July 1, 2024) that most employers must meet. This includes: - A written, employer site-specific plan that outlines how your company prevents and responds to workplace violence. - Required employee training and documented records. #### What It Isn't:     It’s not harassment prevention training.     It’s not optional—most employers must comply.     It is not a cookie cutter training.  ## What You Need to Do Our process turns complex state requirements into simple, actionable steps.

Here are a few of the most common ones to help guide you to what you need. ### Does harassment prevention training satisfy this requirement? No. California requires a separate Workplace Violence Prevention Plan and annual training focused on workplace violence. Our plan and courses are built for that requirement. ### Can I do this on my own? Yes, but it's complex. Our toolkit, training, and expert support make it simple to get it right. ### Can I just watch the webinar and be compliant? No. The webinar explains everything required, but you still need a written, site-specific plan, employee training and more, to be compliant. ### Can I just purchase the toolkit and be compliant? No. You need both a written plan *and* employee training to meet California's requirements. We recommend purchasing our Bundle plus the Employee Training for each of your employees. ### How long does setup take? Most employers complete plan setup in 60 to 90 minutes per site, then assign training. ### What records do I need to keep? Keep your written plan, incident log, hazard assessments and corrections, and training records with dates and attendee lists. ### How many plans do I need? Create a plan for each worksite. Use our template to capture site-specific details. ### How often do I need to train? Train employees annually and when there are changes that affect your plan. ### Who is exempt from the workplace violence standard? Healthcare covered by the healthcare standard, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, law enforcement, certain telework scenarios, and some sites with fewer than 10 employees and no public access.
