California’s workplace violence requirements are not optional. Failing to have a clear, implemented plan can lead to:
- Increased risk of employee injury and trauma.
- Regulatory scrutiny, citations, or fines ($14k to $162K).
- 3rd Party civil liability and higher settlement exposure if an incident occurs.
- Damage to your reputation and employee trust.
- Higher employee turnover and absenteeism.
Many organizations believe they’re covered because they have a general safety policy or a one-time training. In reality, CA expects:
- A written workplace violence prevention plan.
- Training tailored to your employees’ actual risks.
- Reporting and investigation processes that are timely and effective.
- This audit gives you a fast, expert-backed check on where you may be exposed, before an incident forces the issue.
Recent audits for CA medical, legal, construction, manufacturing, and professional firms have all found at least one significant gap they hadn't considered.
