Workplace Violence Prevention Plan Requirements in Oregon

A comprehensive workplace violence prevention program covering threat assessment, hazard identification, response procedures, employee training, and incident reporting based on SB 553 and OSHA guidelines.

Required in California for most employers under SB 553 (effective July 2024). OSHA's General Duty Clause requires all employers to address recognized workplace violence hazards. Several other states are considering similar legislation.
