What is a Violence Prevention Plan?
SB-553 requires employers to create a Violence Prevention plan, a process coordinated with employees and staff specifically tailored to our company. Plan templates are provided with training.
Is active shooter training required?
It is not explicitly referred to in the new bill, but is highly recommended.
How long to complete online training?
Our online training class typically takes just four hours for each of your staff members to complete. Compliance certificates are provided upon each individual’s completion.
Are there penalties for non-compliance?
Some citations have already been issued since the July compliance requirement by OSHA in the state of California, so it is important that companies provided training and implement their plan ASAP.
