SB 553 mandated the creation of CA Labor Code Section 6401.9 which has specific steps that cannot be bypassed:
- Employee Collaboration:
- Mandatory involvement of employees in plan development
- Cannot be replaced by surveys alone
- Direct employee input is crucial for compliance
- Physical Workplace Assessments
- Initial safety evaluation of all worksites after an incident or after a change in the workplace
- Virtual assessments are not sufficient for compliance
- Training on Your Specific Plan and Procedures
- General workplace violence prevention training does not satisfy the regulation
- Employees must be trained on your organization's specific WVPP annually
West Coast Consulting provided Eastern Los Angeles Regional Center (ELARC) compliance with OSHA regulations for a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan and annual training. They have become an extension of our team providing ongoing training.
