Workplace Violence Prevention Legal Requirements
OSHA mandates that employers provide a workplace free of any recognized hazard — which includes Workplace Violence. According to the general duty clause or Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are required to provide their employees with a place of employment that is “free from recognized hazards that are causing or are likely to cause death or serious physical harm." Employers who have had acts of workplace violence, or become aware of threats, intimidation, or other risk factors should be on notice that steps must be taken including safety protocols and training.
California has gone even further with the Cal-OSHA mandate for annual Workplace Violence Prevention training from Senate Bill 553. Organizations are required to provide: training, compliance reporting, and a published plan.
We present two versions of the online training: one for all national locations, and one specifically for California employers which complies the mandates of new law when presented in conjunction with the specifics of your plan and presentation by a knowledgeable presenter. This way, detailed information can be provided to staff online, and a discussion of the specifics can happen off-line.
Oregon Workplace Violence Prevention Legal Requirements
Oregon does not mandate a specific statewide workplace violence or harassment training program for all employers, but several laws create strong obligations that make training a practical necessity. Public employers must maintain a written workplace harassment policy that explains prohibited conduct, reporting options, and employee rights under ORS 243.319, which in turn requires clear procedures for responding to and investigating complaints. While sexual‑harassment training is recommended rather than required for private employers, the Oregon Bureau of Labor and Industries (BOLI) strongly encourages it to support compliance with the Oregon Workplace Fairness Act. Many public institutions—such as universities—require annual harassment and discrimination prevention training to meet federal Title IX and Oregon legislative expectations. In practice, Oregon employers benefit from providing regular training that covers harassment definitions, reporting processes, retaliation protections, and strategies for preventing or responding to workplace violence.
Massachusetts Workplace Violence Prevention Legal Requirements
Massachusetts does not impose a universal statewide mandate for harassment or workplace‑violence training across all employers, but several laws and proposed bills create strong expectations for proactive prevention. Under Chapter 151B, employers must maintain a sexual‑harassment policy, and while training is strongly encouraged rather than required, the Massachusetts Commission Against Discrimination recommends providing it within the first year of employment and annually thereafter, covering definitions, reporting, retaliation protections, and legal rights. Some legislative proposals—such as Bill H.1345—would require mandatory sexual‑harassment prevention training within six months of hire and annually, with interactive components for larger employers. Separately, recent workplace‑violence prevention bills (HD.1856, HD.3502/SD.1639) would require certain sectors—especially human services and healthcare—to implement mandatory training, written prevention plans, incident reporting systems, and crisis‑response protocols. In practice, Massachusetts employers benefit from offering regular, comprehensive training to meet legal expectations and reduce risk
