Cal/OSHA Model Workplace Violence Prevention Plan and Guidance
Our department first brought the guidance up in our February 1, 2024 Compliance Digest . To assist employers in meeting the Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP) ( S.B. 553 ), Cal/OSHA, the organization that protects and improves the health and safety of working men and women in California, published a model WVPP . The WVPP is written for a “broad spectrum of employers,” so employers will need to revise to address specific needs of their workplace--using the model WVPP does not ensure compliance with the S.B. 553 requirements. The requirements include more than having a plan in place. Cal/Osha published “Fact Sheets” for workers and employers about workplace violence prevention “non-healthcare settings” industries and agricultural operation.
