SB 553 (Labor Code §6401.7) requires all California employers with at least one employee to have a written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP) in effect as of July 1, 2024. This applies to every RCFE in California, regardless of size.
Type 1 involves criminal intent by an outsider. Type 2 involves violence from residents, clients, or families. Type 3 involves co-worker-on-worker violence. Type 4 involves personal relationship violence that enters the workplace. Your WVPP must address all four types.
The Violent Incident Log is a required record you must maintain for every workplace violence incident or threat. Cal/OSHA can request it during an inspection. The log must capture the date, time, location, persons involved, nature of the incident, and what action was taken.
Serious workplace violence injuries must be reported to Cal/OSHA within 8 hours. The WVPP also requires annual review and employee training. Failure to comply can result in Cal/OSHA citations and fines.
Yes. Employers must train all employees on the WVPP when it is first implemented, when new employees are hired, and whenever the plan is materially updated. Training records must be maintained for at least one year.
