Offices
Terminations, harassment complaints, and domestic violence that follows an employee to the office are documented risk factors. A missing plan can cost $25,000 per violation. Cynserus generates your office-specific compliance package — most plans ready within the hour.
If you have employees in a California office, you need a written workplace violence prevention plan. The fine for not having one reaches up to $25,000 per violation. Most professional offices do not have one yet.
Professional offices feel safe — until they are not. A terminated employee returns to confront a manager. A domestic partner shows up in the lobby demanding to see someone. A workplace harassment situation escalates beyond HR's ability to manage.
Open floor plans mean no barriers between a threat and your team. Shared building access means your security depends on your landlord. Most offices have no protocol for any of these scenarios.
In practice
A recently terminated employee at a San Diego accounting firm returns to the office unannounced, demanding to speak with the managing partner. The receptionist is alone at the front desk. She asks him to leave. He raises his voice and refuses. Another employee calls building security.
Without a compliant plan
Cal/OSHA investigates after the receptionist files a complaint. The firm has no written plan, no visitor management protocol for former employees, and no incident log. The receptionist had no documented training on how to handle the situation. Citations are issued for failure to maintain a compliant plan and failure to train employees. Fine: up to $25,000 per violation.
With Cynserus
The plan includes post-termination access procedures, reception desk safety protocols, and building security coordination. The incident is logged via the Cynserus portal the same day. Training records show the receptionist completed violence prevention training at onboarding. Cal/OSHA finds complete documentation — no citation.
Scenario is illustrative. Outcomes depend on your specific documentation and circumstances at the time of inspection.
You handle training. We handle the paperwork.
We give you everything to train your team yourself.
We handle compliance end to end. You just run your business.
All plans include an annual renewal starting 12 months after purchase. Renewal keeps your compliance documents current with updated WVPP reviews, training refreshes, and regulatory changes.
Yes. SB 553 applies to all California employers regardless of industry or perceived risk level. Professional offices face Type 3 and Type 4 violence — termination incidents and domestic violence spillover — at rates comparable to other industries.
Your WVPP must address all employees, including remote workers. This includes procedures for threats made via email or video calls, and protocols for when remote employees come to the office.
Each employer is responsible for their own WVPP. However, your plan should address shared spaces like lobbies, elevators, and parking structures. Coordination with building management is a recommended control.
