Does California require workplace violence prevention training?

Yes. Labor Code section 6401.9, added by Senate Bill 553, has required most California employers to establish a written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan and train employees on it since July 1, 2024. Cal/OSHA enforces it. This kit is the employee training piece; the California manager workplace violence training kit covers the supervisors who run the plan.

How often must California employees be trained on the workplace violence prevention plan?

When the plan is first established, then every year, and again whenever a new or previously unrecognized workplace violence hazard is identified or the plan changes. New employees are trained when they start. The kit’s sign-in sheet and reusable certificate document each session.

What must a California Workplace Violence Prevention Plan include?

Among other items: the names of the people responsible for the plan, how employees participate, procedures for reporting incidents and concerns without retaliation, how the employer responds to and investigates incidents, how hazards are identified and corrected, emergency response procedures, a violence incident log, the training itself, and how the plan is reviewed at least annually. The kit includes a sample fill-in-the-blank plan you can adapt.

Which California employers are exempt from Labor Code 6401.9?

Workplaces covered by Cal/OSHA’s healthcare workplace violence standard (Title 8 section 3342), facilities operated by the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, law enforcement agencies, employees teleworking from a location the employer does not control, and workplaces with fewer than ten employees present at any given time that are not accessible to the public. Verify your own status with Cal/OSHA.

Where can I get free workplace violence training in California?

Cal/OSHA publishes a free model plan and fact sheets on its workplace violence page, and our free workplace violence training videos preview the topics. This kit adds the full 23-minute California program, the trainee quiz, the presenter’s guide, a sign-in sheet, a reusable certificate and a sample plan so the training is documented.
