The Occupational Safety, Workplace Violence, Restraining Orders, and Workplace Violence Prevention Plan passed into law in 2024. Sometimes people come into a workplace and harm the people working there. Common examples include: disgruntled employees/coworkers or ex-employees, domestic abusers coming to their partner’s place of employment, domestic terrorists, thieves, angry customers. The new law asks employers to take responsibility to ensure that no matter the situation, employees know what to do and have strategies to keep themselves safe.
