CALIFORNIA WORKPLACE VIOLENCE LAW: ARE YOU ACTUALLY COVERED, OR JUST HOPING YOU ARE?

Take the 2-Minute Compliance Quiz

If your business has a public-facing door — customers walk in, patients check in, clients sit in your waiting room, drivers drop off packages — California's workplace violence prevention law applies to you. Not "might." Does.

Most small business owners already know the law exists. What they don't know is whether what they have actually holds up: a policy someone downloaded, a binder that hasn't been touched since it was created, a plan nobody trained on. That gap is exactly where the risk lives — and it's usually invisible until an incident forces you to find out the hard way.

Here's what that gap can cost you: government citations, a workers' comp penalty of up to 50% on a claim, and — if a third party is involved — a lawsuit that argues you knew the risk and didn't do enough about it. For a business your size, any one of those can be the expense you don't recover from.

This quiz tells you where you actually stand — not where you assume you stand — in about 2 minutes.
