Relates to requiring training to reduce abusive conduct and bullying in the workplace
This bill requires employers with at least twenty full-time permanent employees to create and follow a written plan to prevent workplace violence, bullying, and abusive conduct. The law mandates that these employers evaluate their work environments for risk factors, such as working alone or late at night, and implement safety measures like better lighting and reporting systems. Additionally, the bill ensures that all employees receive annual training on how to identify and report abusive behavior, as well as learn specific safety procedures provided by their employer. Employers must also make this prevention plan available to their staff upon request.
