Frequently Asked Questions

California Senate Bill 553 (SB 553) is a comprehensive workplace safety law that requires most California employers to develop and implement a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP). This requirement applies to all California employers, with specific exemptions for:

  • Healthcare facilities already covered under existing Cal/OSHA regulations
  • Workplaces with fewer than 10 employees that are not accessible to the public
  • Employees teleworking from locations not under the employer's control
  • Certain facilities operated by the Department of Corrections and law enforcement agencies

All other California employers must comply with SB 553 requirements.

A compliant Workplace Violence Prevention Plan must include:

  • Names or job titles of individuals responsible for implementing the plan
  • Procedures for employee involvement in plan development and implementation
  • Methods for identifying, evaluating, and correcting workplace violence hazards
  • Procedures for reporting workplace violence without fear of retaliation
  • Response procedures for workplace violence emergencies
  • Post-incident response and investigation protocols
  • Training requirements and documentation procedures
  • Recordkeeping guidelines for incidents and corrective actions

Our WVPP template includes all these required elements in a format that's easy to customize for your specific workplace.

The compliance deadline for SB 553 was July 1, 2024. By this date, all affected California employers were required to have:

  • Developed and implemented a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan
  • Established a violent incident log
  • Provided required training to all employees
  • Implemented recordkeeping systems

If you haven't yet met these requirements, it's crucial to take immediate action to minimize potential penalties and liability. Our compliance package provides everything you need to quickly achieve compliance.

Failure to comply with SB 553 can result in significant penalties enforced by Cal/OSHA:

  • Up to $13,277 per serious violation
  • Up to $134,334 for willful or repeated violations
  • Each requirement can be cited separately, potentially resulting in multiple penalties

Beyond regulatory fines, non-compliance can also lead to increased civil liability in workplace violence lawsuits, business disruption, and reputational damage. The cost of compliance is minimal compared to the potential consequences of non-compliance.

Implementing our SB 553 compliance package is straightforward:

  1. Purchase the package and download all materials
  2. Customize the WVPP template with your company-specific information
  3. Complete the risk assessment using our provided tools
