Are You Prepared for California’s New Workplace Violence Law?
As July approaches, businesses across California face the daunting challenge of complying with the new Senate Bill 553 (SB 553). This bill, effective from July 1, 2024, mandates robust Workplace Violence Prevention programs. SAI360 offers a custom-developed training solution tailored specifically for California employers to address this need. Our solution ensures businesses meet SB 553 requirements by providing comprehensive, engaging training modules to prepare employees for the new legislation.
What SAI360 is Doing to Drive Impact
At SAI360, we understand the significant impact SB 553 will have on businesses across California. In response, we developed the California Workplace Violence Prevention course, a concise 15-minute training session tailored for the complex demands of this legislation. One complexity of the new law is its requirement for each organization to integrate company-specific information.
SAI360’s course covers all non-customizable aspects required by California legislation, including Plan Governance, Plan Contents, Violent Incident Log, and Plan Employee Training. Additionally, our Customer Success Managers provide support to insert your company-specific information into the training, as mandated by the law.
Benefits of SAI360’s California Workplace Violence Prevention Course
Looking ahead to the July deadline, we remain committed to preparing businesses for these new regulations. We encourage organizations to start their preparation early, ensuring all employees are trained and systems are updated to meet the upcoming legal requirements.
As of mid-2024, several California businesses have begun implementing early compliance measures for SB 553. These include conducting risk assessments and identifying workplace violence hazards specific to their industry. Early adopters are reporting that proactive implementation has helped ease the transition to full compliance by the July 1 deadline.
Additionally, businesses should be aware that SB 553 includes annual reporting requirements on workplace violence incidents. Organizations are advised to set up systems for tracking incidents and compiling data to ensure accurate reporting and ongoing compliance.
