Workplace Violence and Schools

Are you ready for an OSHA inspection?

What is SB553, and how does it affect California schools?

California Senate Bill 553 (SB 553), requires employers to establish, implement, and maintain an effective, written Workplace Violence Prevention Plan (WVPP).

  • All California public schools fall within this scope.
  • The requirements of this bill are enforced by OSHA.
  • Public schools may be asked to demonstrate existing and ongoing compliance including evidence of regular safety inspections.

What does Workplace Violence look like in a School?

In addition to common workplace violence risks, schools manage distinct social dynamics and settings such as:

Playgrounds and Sports Events

Playground altercations are not uncommon, and schools are held accountable for the injuries and disruption that may result

Our facility inspection tools will support your efforts to reduce occurrences of violence.

Bullying and Group Harassment

Many of the most tragic acts of violence in schools begin with classroom bullying and group harassment.

Custom facility inspections will improve your ability to monitor areas of increased risk.

Special Needs Contexts

Special needs education can present unique physical and social dynamics, not only for the students, but for the educators who care for them.

Strengthen your ability to document and report the work you're doing to maintain a safe learning environment for students and teachers alike.
