Creating a secure workplace starts with a well-defined and actionable prevention plan. Bigger Brains has created a new course, Brain Bites: Workplace Violence Prevention (SB 553) for Plan Builders, to equip organizations with essential skills to develop a Workplace Violence plan. Tailored for leaders responsible for drafting and implementing Workplace Violence Prevention Plans, this course aligns with California’s Senate Bill 553. It provides the tools and knowledge to establish a proactive approach to workplace safety. Building a comprehensive prevention plan requires both practical insights and regulatory understanding, and this course walks learners through both.
This course opens with an overview of workplace violence and the four types of incidents defined by Senate Bill 553, ensuring that participants understand the full scope of potential risks. The course explores preventive actions that employers can take to reduce the likelihood of workplace violence incidents, identifying behaviors that may precede violent actions, and encouraging the development of proactive protocols. Essential procedures for reporting workplace violence are covered in depth, giving plan builders the confidence to implement a reporting structure that supports a safe work environment. The course also details requirements for record retention and access, enabling employers to maintain a transparent and legally compliant log and how to manage the Violent Incident Log effectively. Learners are also guided on where to access critical resources, including relevant labor codes, further ensuring compliance with state regulations.
