California WVPP Compliance Toolkit — SB 553

The core legal requirement — a 13-section written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan covering all 11 mandatory elements of Labor Code §6401.9. Includes: designated responsible person, employee participation procedures, multi-employer coordination language, hazard identification table, post-incident response, reporting protocols with anti-retaliation language, emergency response procedures (evacuation, lockdown, shelter-in-place), training program documentation, Violent Incident Log procedures, and annual review requirements. Fully editable — fill in your company details, locations, and personnel.

WVP-FORM-001: Training Acknowledgment (per employee, per year). WVP-FORM-002: Training Sign-In Roster. WVP-FORM-003: Training Completion Master Log. WVP-FORM-004: Violent Incident Log (5-year retention, PII-compliant design). WVP-FORM-005: Annual WVPP Review Checklist. All forms are Cal/OSHA inspection-ready.

60-minute live training script for in-person or webinar delivery. Includes: timed session agenda, pre-training checklist, facilitated discussion prompts, module scripts, site-specific customization instructions, Q&A guide, and post-session wrap-up. Covers all mandated training topics: 4 types of violence, company WVPP overview, threat levels, reporting procedures, emergency response, and bystander action.

A clean, printable reference document for employees to keep after training. Covers: 4 types of workplace violence, threat level scale (1–3), warning signs to report, emergency response (Run-Hide-Fight), reporting channels, and anti-retaliation rights. Also includes a "What to Do If You Receive a Restraining Order" guidance section.

A structured facility walk-through form that satisfies the hazard identification requirement of §6401.9(c)(2)(H). Documents: security measures in place, lighting assessment, cash-handling vulnerabilities, lone worker situations, public access points, alarm/alert system status, and identified controls (engineering and administrative). Required at initial WVPP deployment and after any violent incident.

A plain-language guide covering: where to store each document, 5-year retention schedule, Cal/OSHA inspection preparation (what inspectors look for, in what order), how to organize your WVPP binder, mandatory Cal/OSHA reporting triggers (fatalities within 8 hours, serious injuries within 8 hours), and PAGA exposure minimization through "reasonable steps" documentation.

A consultant-authored walkthrough that tells you exactly how to complete each section of the WVPP for your specific business. Includes industry-specific tips (grooming, retail, restaurants, cannabis, office), common mistakes to avoid, Cal/OSHA inspection hot spots, and a pre-submission self-audit checklist. Written for business owners and HR managers — no legal background required.

Six industry-specific workplace violence scenarios designed for interactive annual training discussions. Covers: retail/customer-facing incidents, office/coworker conflict, Type 1 (criminal) threats, domestic violence spillover, and escalating customer behavior. Each scenario includes a facilitator debrief guide — discussion questions, suggested responses, and what the correct WVPP procedure is. Designed to replace "read the policy" compliance with real skill-building.
