In part two of our three-part series on California’s new workplace violence prevention law, Karen Tynan (shareholder, Sacramento) and Robert Rodriguez (associate, Sacramento) discuss the nuances of the requirements imposed by Senate Bill (SB) No. 553. The speakers offer details on how employers can establish, implement, and maintain a workplace violence prevention plan. Robert and Karen, who is the West Coast chair of Ogletree’s Workplace Safety and Health Practice Group, also cover the required format of a compliant workplace plan, in addition to customization, distribution, recordkeeping, and employee-involvement requirements and how a workplace violence prevention plan can integrate with other company policies.
