Involving employees and their representatives in the process
Accepting and responding to reports of workplace violence, while prohibiting employee retaliation
Communicating with employees about workplace violence issues
Responding to actual and potential emergencies

How Does Harbinger Horizon Help You Meet These Demands?
Harbinger Horizon has a well-established planning model that not only meets but exceeds the new legislative requirements, offering comprehensive strategies and protocols for preventing and addressing workplace violence. Our curriculum and framework are designed to comply with the 2024 legislation, requiring employers to establish a written workplace violence prevention plan that involves employees and provides training opportunities.
Our planning model includes two separate lesson plans:
General Organizational Education:
Focuses on workplace violence awareness and safety considerations.
Involves employees in the management of the Workplace Violence Prevention Plan.
Provides templates and resources such as workplace violence risk assessment forms, incident report forms, and hazard response templates.
Formation of Threat Assessment Teams:
Designed for developing workplace violence prevention plan administrators.
Includes resources to ensure:
Employee involvement in managing the plan.
Comprehensive reporting of workplace violence hazards.
Use of workplace violence risk assessment templates and policy templates.
Identification of workplace violence prevention administrator team members.
Maintenance of workplace violence incident report logs.
We provide both resources and training to meet all legislative requirements. Our curriculums incorporate adult learning concepts, allowing attendees to discuss concerns and provide insights during the courses. The content and vocabulary of our curriculums are tailored to the education level, literacy, and language of employees, as required by the labor code.
Our curriculums and framework are guided by California Labor Code sections 6401.7 and 6401.9, resulting from Senate Bill 553 (Cortese). As prescribed by California Labor Code section 6401.9, our offerings address:
Defining key workplace violence prevention terms.
Educating on the development of a workplace violence prevention plan involving employees.
Providing templates and education on maintaining a workplace violence incident log, recording various details about each incident.
Training employees on workplace violence prevention, with materials suitable for their education level and language.
Ensuring proper record-keeping of workplace violence hazard identification, evaluation, correction, training, incident logs, and investigations, to be available to state authorities and their representatives.
Our approach ensures compliance with the requirements of California Labor Code 6401.9, which will become operative on July 1, 2024.
