This was problematic because SB 553 had more extensive requirements than the Cal\/OSHA draft WPV Standard.\u00a0 It also included retail-specific provisions on shoplifter training and a prohibition on requiring workers who are not dedicated safety personnel from confronting suspected active shoplifters.<\/p>\n<p>However, last week the <a href=\"https:\/\/leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\/faces\/billVersionsCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=202320240SB553\">bill<\/a> was amended to align more closely with the draft Cal\/OSHA WPV Standard. The bill passed committee on Friday and will now go to a full vote in the California Legislature. The latest version of the bill includes the following:<!--more--><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>Operative January 1, 2024 <\/u><\/strong>&#8211; amends California Labor Code Section 6401.7 to include as an Injury and Illness Prevention Plan (IIPP) required element \u201ca workplace violence prevention plan conforming to the elements to the requirements of California Labor Code Section 6401.9.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong><u>Operative July 1, 2024 <\/u><\/strong>&#8211; adds California Labor Code Section 6401.9 which will require <strong><em><u>all<\/u><\/em> <\/strong>California employers (unless they fall under one of the few exemptions) to establish, implement, and maintain an effective workplace violence prevention plan that includes the following (in summary):\n<ul>\n<li>Names or job titles of the persons responsible for implementing the plan.<\/li>\n<li>Effective procedures to obtain active involvement of employees and authorized employee representatives in developing and implementing the plan.<\/li>\n<li>Methods the employer will use to coordinate implementation of the plan with other employers.<\/li>\n<li>Effective procedures for the employer to accept and respond to reports of workplace violence.<\/li>\n<li>Effective procedures to ensure that supervisory and nonsupervisory employees comply with the plan.<\/li>\n<li>Effective procedures to communicate with employees regarding workplace violence matters.<\/li>\n<li>Effective procedures to respond to actual or potential workplace violence emergencies.<\/li>\n<li>Procedures to develop and provide training.<\/li>\n<li>Procedures to identify and evaluate workplace violence hazards.<\/li>\n<li>Procedures to correct workplace violence hazards timely.<\/li>\n<li>Procedures for post incident response and investigation.<\/li>\n<li>Procedures to review the effectiveness of the plan and revise as needed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In addition to the plan, employers will also be required to maintain a violent incident log and provide employee training.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><u>Operative January 1, 2025 <\/u><\/strong>&#8211; allow collective bargaining representatives to seek workplace violence restraining orders on behalf of employees.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Further, not only will employers have to comply with this bill if it passes, but it is just the start of what employers will need to consider when developing their plan.
