Cal/OSHA Workplace Violence Templates and Guides

Workplace violence encompasses any act or threat of physical violence, harassment, intimidation, or other disruptive behavior that occurs within or is related to the work environment. This can include verbal abuse, threats, physical assaults, bullying, stalking, or any other behavior that creates a hostile or unsafe work environment.

To address this pressing issue, organizations must be proactive in implementing effective policies, procedures, and training programs.

Cal/OSHA stands for the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health, which is part of the California Department of Industrial Relations. Cal/OSHA is responsible for enforcing occupational safety and health standards in California workplaces. Its mission is to ensure the health and safety of workers in the state by setting and enforcing standards, providing training, outreach, and education, and conducting inspections and investigations to ensure compliance with workplace safety regulations. Cal/OSHA plays a vital role in protecting workers from hazards such as workplace violence, chemical exposure, ergonomic risks, and more.
