New Workplace Safety Regulations
In early 2024, California passed SB 553, a landmark workplace safety law. It mandates that employers create and implement a workplace violence prevention plan, provide employee training on the plan, and maintain a log of all workplace violence incidents, among other things.
Following California’s lead, New York introduced the Retail Worker Safety Act, which includes similar provisions to SB 553. These regulations represent a growing trend, and we anticipate more states will adopt similar workplace safety laws across the country.
