CA Workplace Violence Training

According to an FBI report, 1.3 million nonfatal violence crimes and 600 homicides occurred in US workplaces in a recent year. These instances led to employee deaths, injuries, lost work time, emotional distress, and psychological trauma—not signs of a healthy workplace that encourages working together and collaborating on ways to serve others better.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure” has never been truer than today.

California now requires employers to act. New California rules mandate that most employers develop and maintain a workplace violence prevention plan, including employee training.

Employers can better address workplace violence by getting in front of the issue—recognizing the threat, identifying and mitigating risks, preparing employees, and providing resources to assist in preparation and response. Organizations can evaluate identified threats and problems after an incident to prevent them.
