SB 553 questions
What is SB 553 and does it apply to my business?
SB 553 requires most California employers to keep a workplace violence prevention plan, train employees, and log and assess incidents. The main exemption applies only when fewer than 10 employees work at a location at any time, the location is not open to the public, and the employer keeps a compliant injury and illness prevention program.
What needs to go in an SB 553 policy?
Your SB 553 policy must include hazard assessments, response procedures, supervisor and employee training, and ongoing risk reviews tailored to your workplace.
What kind of training does SB 553 require?
SB 553 requires initial and annual training for employees and supervisors on how to recognize, respond to, and report workplace violence risks. Training must be interactive, with the opportunity for employees to ask questions of a person knowledgeable about the plan.
Can Braav help with SB 553 compliance?
Yes. Braav offers SB 553 policy creation, employee and supervisor training, and expert risk assessments to help you stay compliant and avoid penalties.
