California Workplace Violence Prevention Training: Facilitator Kit

You get a delivery-ready kit for the California workplace violence prevention session: a PDF facilitator guide, a PowerPoint deck, a PDF handout, a PDF sign-in sheet and an Excel log, all in one ZIP.

It is the companion to the California Harassment Prevention Training: Facilitator Kit. Different law, different annual clock, different records.

Who it is for

• HR leaders and safety leads at California employers who must train on a written plan
• Trainers and consultants who deliver the annual session
• Small employers training on their first plan

What is inside

• A 25-page facilitator guide with 60 and 90 minute run sheets and a word for word script
• A 20-slide deck with the full script in the speaker notes
• 12 fictional scenario cards across the four types of workplace violence
• 2 tabletop drills with a gap list
• 16 questions with answers drawn from the statute and Cal/OSHA pages
• A handout, a sign-in sheet and an Excel log with 4 sheets for training, incidents and plan reviews

What it is not

• It is not your written plan. California requires training on your plan, so the plan has to exist first.
• It is not legal advice, and it does not promise compliance or protection from a claim.
• It does not set a minimum session length, because the sources checked do not state one.

Every legal statement was checked on November 1, 2026 against Labor Code section 6401.9 and Cal/OSHA guidance. A standard is due from the Standards Board by December 31, 2026, so check Cal/OSHA before each annual session.
