California
Starting on July 1, 2024, California employers of all sizes must have a written workplace violence prevention plan, maintain a violent incident log, and provide workplace violence prevention training to employees. These requirements will apply to nearly all California employers and employees.
Exceptions include healthcare employers covered by the state’s workplace violence prevention plan standard, remote employees working at a location not controlled by the employer, and worksites with fewer than ten employees not open to the public.
You can find more complete information on the requirements on our platform and on Cal/OSHA’s Workplace Violence Prevention Guidance and Resources page, which includes helpful FAQs and a Fact Sheet. For questions and free technical assistance, employers should contact the Cal/OSHA Consultation Services Branch at (800) 963-9424 or by email at InfoCons@dir.ca.gov.
