DRAFT SB553 Violence Prevention Plan.pdf
Summary: California Senate Bill 553 (SB 553) was signed into law in the fall of 2023 and amended Labor Code section 6401.7 to require employers to develop and implement a workplace violence prevention plan in accordance with newly codified Labor Code section 6401.9, which sets out the requirements for the plan. Starting July 1, 2024, the majority of employers in California must establish, implement, and maintain a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan that includes: • Prohibiting employee retaliation. • Accepting and responding to reports of workplace violence. • Employee workplace violence training and communication. • Emergency response. • Workplace violence hazard assessments. • Other requirements, such as maintaining a Violent Incident Log.

This is a DRAFT plan that will require additional input from our bargaining unit leaders regarding the plan and training for staff. SB533 requires that the plan include effective procedures to obtain the active involvement of employees and authorized employee representatives in developing and implementing the plan.

Staff is presenting a baseline plan as we work with our units for more input to develop the plan.
