What SB 553 requires
Everything the statute asks for, in one place
SB553Ready is built around the actual obligations in Labor Code §6401.9 — not a generic document locker. Each part of your program stays linked, dated, and ready to export.
Plan Builder
Build your written WVPP section by section, tailored to each worksite — procedures, responsibilities, emergency response, and employee involvement.
Training tracker
Assign initial and annual training, track who has completed it, and keep the training records the law requires.
Violent incident log
Capture every incident with the statute's required details — what happened, who was involved, classification, and corrective response.
Hazard assessments
Identify, evaluate, and correct workplace violence hazards, with a dated paper trail of each assessment and fix.
Annual review reminders
The plan and training recur every year. SB553Ready tracks what's due, what's overdue, and emails you before deadlines slip.

One click assembles your plan, training records, incident log, and hazard assessments into a single packet for an inspector, insurer, or attorney.

Questions employers ask
Plain answers — not legal advice. When in doubt, check with your counsel or safety professional.
What is SB 553?
SB 553 is the California law (now Labor Code §6401.9) that took effect July 1, 2024. It requires covered employers to establish a written workplace violence prevention plan, train employees on it, keep a log of violent incidents, and retain related records. Cal/OSHA enforces it and can cite employers who don't comply.
Does it apply to my business?
Nearly every California employer is covered, regardless of size or industry. The main exceptions are narrow — for example, healthcare facilities already covered by Cal/OSHA's separate healthcare violence standard, employees teleworking from a location of their choosing, and worksites not open to the public with fewer than 10 employees present at a time. If you run a restaurant, store, clinic, office, or shop in California, assume it applies.
What does staying compliant actually involve?
It's an ongoing program, not a one-time document: keep the written plan current for each worksite, train new hires and retrain everyone annually, record every violent incident in the log, assess and correct hazards, and review the plan at least yearly. SB553Ready tracks each of those obligations and reminds you before they come due.
What happens during a Cal/OSHA inspection?
An inspector can ask to see your written plan, training records, violent incident log, and hazard assessment records. SB553Ready's audit packet exports all of it in one organized bundle, so producing records takes minutes instead of a scramble.
Is SB553Ready legal advice?
No. SB553Ready is a software tool, not a law firm. Plan language and compliance indicators are informational drafts and organizational aids — review your program with qualified counsel or a safety professional before adopting it.
What happens to my data if I cancel?
It stays yours. Your records remain viewable and exportable even after a subscription lapses — only creating and editing records pauses. You can export your full audit packet at any time.
Ready in an afternoon, not a quarter.
Add your first worksite, answer the plan builder's questions, and you'll have the bones of your program today — with reminders keeping it current from then on.
