Workplace Violence… for California Managers and Supervisors

This course on Workplace Violence… for California Managers and Supervisors discusses the different types of violence that can occur in the workplace, how to anticipate violence, and how to handle aggressive and violent behavior. It also provides practical guidance on how to create and implement a Workplace Violence Prevention Plan that complies with California’s SB 553 Bill.

When an employee becomes aggressive or violent, or an “outside threat” appears, employees often turn to their leaders for help. One way to prepare for this is for employers to have a “Workplace Violence Prevention Plan” that complies with California’s SB 553 Bill in place. Areas covered in the course include the definition of “violence”, how to recognize signs of potential violence, handling aggressive behavior, how to deal with violent behavior, implementing a “Workplace Violence Prevention Plan”, and more.
