Background Information:
§8101: Workplace Violence Prevention Plan
California Senate Bill (SB 553) amended the California Labor Code by adding new requirements which will be in effect on July 1, 2024. SB 553 requires covered employers to establish, implement, and maintain, at all times in all work areas, an effective workplace violence prevention plan. The workplace violence prevention plan must be in writing and be available, contain specified information, and be easily accessible to employees at all times. Fortunately, Tehama County has had a workplace violence prevention policy in place since 2021. Therefore, in order to be in compliance with SB 553, only minor changes to our current policy needed to be made.
The revisions were drafted by the Personnel Department, then routed through the Personnel Review Committee, the Department Heads, and the bargaining units, if applicable. The process then continues to presentation and/or approval by the full Board, which is the final step in approving this Personnel Rule.
