By July 1, 2024, virtually all California employers will be required to establish a comprehensive Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (“WVPP”) in accordance with SB 553 and California Labor Code Section 6401.9. This plan is aimed at identifying and rectifying workplace hazards and will operate alongside employers’ existing Injury, Illness & Prevention Programs. California employers will have the flexibility to integrate the plan within their existing programs or maintain it as a separate document. #Honigman #LaborLaw #EmploymentLaw
