Coming Soon! Workshop: Creating Your Workplace Violence Prevention Plan

Coming Soon! Announcing a 3-Hour Outline Your California Compliant Workplace Violence Prevention Plan Workshop.

California's new workplace violence prevention law goes into effect by July 1, 2024. With a few exceptions, the law requires all employers to "establish, implement, and maintain an effective workplace violence prevention plan."

 In this hands on workshop, you will learn how to outline a workplace violence prevention plan that's specific to your employees' safety risks. You'll be able to assess your employees' workplace violence safety hazards. You'll learn about different strategies for your employees to avoid physical harm from workplace violence, and which approaches are the best for your employees. You will develop an incident response process that's customized to your operation, workplace, management, and employees. You'll also learn about the types of trainings you must provide to your employees, and your paperwork requirements.

This workshop is FOR employers who are committed to employee safety and want to ensure compliance with California's new law. Participants will outline the elements of their workplace violence prevention program that are unique to your employee safety needs. This workshop is NOT for any employer looking for a cut and paste, one-size-fits-all, boiler plate plan.

Michael Corwin spent 30 years conducting civil and criminal litigation investigations where I saw, first hand, the tragic consequences from violence. Through this work, I learned how violence happens and how it can be prevented. In order to be effective at my work, I had to learn to keep myself safe, while working in some very dangerous places and environment. I also spent many years conducting internal investigations for businesses, nonprofit organizations, and government agencies, and taught legal professionals, and law school students, how to conduct investigations. For more than 10 years, I’ve used the knowledge I gained through my work to help organizations prevent workplace violence”.
