New General Industry Workplace Violence Prevention Bill Starting July 1, 2024
Last year, California Governor Gavin Newsom signed Senate Bill 553, creating a new general industry workplace violence prevention standard. As previously reported, effective July 1, 2024, California employers need to implement and maintain a comprehensive workplace violence prevention plan, which they may incorporate into their Injury and Illness Prevention Program (IIPP) or maintain as a separate document. Employers are also required to conduct workplace violence training and create workplace violence incident logs.
The California Division of Occupational Safety and Health (Cal/OSHA) is responsible for enforcing this new law. To help employers with drafting their plan, Cal/OSHA recently published a model workplace violence prevention plan along with fact sheets. Similar to Cal/OSHA’s model COVID-19 Prevention Plan, the model workplace violence prevention plan contains:
- An overview of the law;
- Directions for drafting the plan;
- Key legal definitions; and
- A framework of all required plan components with areas for employers to customize the plan based on their particular worksite.

French Laundry Chef Opens RO Restaurant and Lounge in Yountville
What began as a pop-up caviar lounge in 2021 from French Laundry chef Thomas Keller is transforming into a full-fledged restaurant focused on Asian-inspired cuisine. The former Regiis Ova Caviar & Champagne Lounge in Yountville, which showcased Keller’s own brand of caviars, has become RO Restaurant and Lounge.
While caviar will still have a strong showing at the intimate indoor/outdoor Yountville destination, Chef de Cuisine Jeffery Hayashi has imagined a debut menu that includes Hokkaido Uni Toast, Artichoke Custard infused with almond wood-smoked pork belly, Wolfe Ranch BBQ brined in shio koji (a Japanese marinade) and Shave Ice, a Hawaiian favorite topped with huckleberry and dried hibiscus syrup.
