California Senate Bill No. 553 (“SB 553”), requires covered California employers to take steps to prevent and respond to workplace violence. Effective July 1, 2024 Section 6401.9, requires covered employers to adopt a comprehensive workplace violence prevention plan. The law includes a number of specific requirements pertaining to the development, implementation, execution and maintenance of the plan.
Our team of experts can help you to ensure that your organization has a program and plan in place to meet these new requirements and to understand the implications of this new legislation on your business beyond the borders of California.
