Workplace Violence Prevention: New Requirements for Employers
May 15 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT
We are excited to invite you to an essential webcast titled “Workplace Violence Prevention: New Requirements for Employers”, a timely and informative session that addresses the new legislative requirements that could significantly impact your organization’s approach to workplace safety.
In the wake of new legislation in California, the imperative for companies to integrate a comprehensive workplace violence prevention program into their safety and health protocols has never been more critical. California Senate Bill 553, effective July 1, 2024, mandates that employers operating within the state must not only establish a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan but also maintain an incident log and provide all employees with workplace violence training.
This legislation, with its broad definition of workplace violence, sets a precedent that could influence health and safety programs beyond California’s borders. Our webcast will provide an in-depth look at the bill’s requirements, the definition of workplace violence as it stands under this new law, and the necessary steps employers must take to comply.
Don’t miss this opportunity to gain valuable insights into how the new requirements could affect your business and learn strategies to ensure compliance. Secure your spot today and take a proactive step towards enhancing your workplace safety and health program.
We look forward to your participation.
