Workplace safety just got a serious upgrade. As of July 1, 2024, California Senate Bill 553 is officially in effect, requiring California businesses to implement workplace violence prevention plans to keep employees safe. This isn’t just another regulation—it’s a game-changer in how companies approach security, training, and emergency preparedness.
If you haven’t taken action yet, now is the time. Whether you handle compliance in-house or rely on a service provider, you must ensure policies, procedures, and training meet the new standards.
Failure to follow these laws could mean fines, lawsuits, and unsafe work environments. That’s why choosing a fully compliant managed labor provider is essential for protecting your business and employees.
At Contract Services Group (CSG), compliance isn’t an afterthought—it’s a priority. We stay ahead of new California labor laws to provide safe, legally sound workforce solutions for our partners.
Understanding the Impact of California SB 553
SB 553 requires most California employers to implement a workplace violence prevention plan. The law mandates that businesses:
Develop and implement a written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP).
Conduct employee training on identifying and reporting workplace violence.
Maintain records of any violent incidents.
Establish reporting and response procedures to protect employees from potential harm.
Protecting employees from workplace violence is the primary goal of California Senate Bill 553. By adhering to this law, businesses can foster a secure and compliant workplace.
Risks of Partnering with a Non-Compliant Provider
Not all managed labor providers follow the law. Working with a bad actor can expose your business to serious risks, including:
Legal Penalties – If your provider violates labor laws, your company could face fines and lawsuits.
Unsafe Work Conditions – Non-compliant providers skip safety training, increasing the risk of workplace injuries.
Reputation Damage – A labor law violation can harm your brand’s credibility and lead to negative press.
Inconsistent Staffing – Bad providers cut corners, leading to high turnover, poor service, and unqualified workers.
5 Questions to Ask Before Choosing a Provider
Protect your business, ask these 5 questions when selecting a managed labor provider:
Are you compliant with SB 553 and other California labor laws?
Do you provide workplace violence prevention training to employees?
Can you share your written workplace violence prevention plan?
Are your workers trained in workplace safety and compliance?
What procedures do you have for reporting and handling workplace incidents?
A reliable provider will have clear, documented answers to these questions. If a company is unable or unwilling to provide clear answers, it may indicate non-compliance.
