Feeling overwhelmed by California's workplace safety regulations? You're not alone! Keeping up with requirements like Injury and Illness Prevention Programs (IIPPs) and Harassment & Discrimination Prevention training can feel like a constant juggling act. Now, there's another crucial piece of the puzzle you need to address: the Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP).

At DawnHR, we understand the pressure businesses face to stay compliant without breaking the bank. That's why we developed a budget-friendly online WVPP compliance course designed to guide you through the process of developing your business’s Workplace Violence Prevention Plan that is compliant and effective.

California takes workplace safety seriously, and the recent emphasis on preventing workplace violence means most businesses in the Golden State are now required to have a comprehensive WVPP in place. Neglecting this requirement could lead to significant penalties and, more importantly, put your employees at risk.

Who needs a workplace violence prevention plan in California?

The short answer is: most employers. While there are some specific exemptions, it's crucial to understand the legal requirements for workplace violence prevention plan California to determine if your business is covered. Generally, if you have employees, you likely need a WVPP.

Here's a breakdown of who generally needs a WVPP in California:

• Employers with employees: This is the primary determining factor. If you hire and have people working for you in California, you most likely need a WVPP.
