Module 1
Site-Specific Plan Generator
A guided questionnaire builds your workplace violence prevention plan around your actual workplace — your hazards, your team, your procedures. Not a template with blanks.
- Asks about your business type, locations, hazards, and team structure
- Collects names and titles of persons responsible for implementation
- Generates tailored emergency response and post-incident procedures
- Outputs a complete, formatted WVPP ready to adopt and share with employees
Covers: Labor Code §6401.9(a)(1)–(2) — Written WVPP requirements
Module 2
Incident Log
Every field Cal/OSHA requires, in a searchable digital log with five-year automatic retention. No spreadsheets, no paper trail to lose.
- Date, time, and location of every incident
- Violence type classification (Types 1–4)
- Detailed description, circumstances, and weapon involvement
- Consequences and employer response actions — all exportable
Covers: Labor Code §6401.9(b) — Violent incident log requirements
Module 3
Investigation Tracker
When an incident is logged, track the investigation from start to finish. Document findings, assign corrective actions, and verify they're completed.
- Automatically linked to incident log entries
- Document investigation findings and root causes
- Assign and track corrective actions to completion
- Five-year retention of all investigation records
Covers: Labor Code §6401.9(a)(7) — Post-incident investigation requirements

Training Records
Track which employees have completed initial and annual refresher training. See who's current, who's overdue, and export the records Cal/OSHA asks for.
- Record initial training and annual refresher completion dates
- Flag employees with overdue annual refreshers
- Per-employee training history with date tracking
- Export training records for Cal/OSHA requests
Covers: Labor Code §6401.9(a)(8) — Employee training requirements

Hazard Assessment
Identify workplace violence hazards specific to your site using the factors Cal/OSHA evaluates: public interaction, working alone, cash handling, staffing, and security measures.
- Workplace-specific hazard identification checklist
- Covers all Cal/OSHA evaluation factors
- Document findings and planned corrective actions
- Track corrections to completion with five-year retention
Covers: Labor Code §6401.9(a)(4) — Hazard identification and evaluation
Module 6

Get notified before your annual review is due — and after any incident that requires a plan update. Walk through a guided review and keep a version history trail.
- Automated reminders before your annual review date
- Post-incident review triggers (not just annual)
- Employee input collection for the review process
- Full plan version history showing your compliance trail
Covers: Labor Code §6401.9(a)(9) — Annual review and update requirements
