Nonprofits
California requires a workplace violence prevention plan.
Yours must cover home visits, open campuses, and the populations you serve.
Home visits to unfamiliar locations, open campus access, and clients in crisis are documented risk factors. A missing plan can cost $25,000 per violation. Cynserus generates your nonprofit-specific compliance package — most plans ready within the hour.
Most businesses are required to have a written plan
If you employ staff in California — including part-time and grant-funded positions — you need a written workplace violence prevention plan. The fine for not having one reaches up to $25,000 per violation. Most nonprofits do not have one yet.
Why nonprofits specifically
Your staff makes home visits to unfamiliar neighborhoods. Your campus is open to the public. Your clients may be in crisis — dealing with custody battles, substance abuse, or homelessness.
A parent shows up at an after-school program demanding to take a child in violation of a custody order. A client at a social services office becomes agitated when told their benefits are delayed. These are not hypothetical scenarios — they happen in California nonprofits every week.
