New courses help organizations meet OSHA and California SB 553 requirements amid rising workplace violence incidents. 

NEW YORK — November 20, 2025 — Traliant, an innovator in online compliance training solutions, today announced the launch of its new and redesigned Workplace Violence Prevention courses. The training helps organizations meet state and federal regulations while promoting safer, more respectful workplaces. 

The courses align with OSHA and California SB 553 annual training requirements to support employers in reducing risk and building a culture of prevention. Refreshed versions are available for both California and non-California employers, including industrial versions addressing the distinct safety and reporting challenges of manufacturing, retail and logistics settings. Additionally, a new California healthcare-specific course has been released that meets California’s 8 CCR 3342 standard and aligns with mandates in Arizona, Louisiana, Minnesota, and Texas.  

Findings from Traliant’s 2025 Workplace Violence Prevention Report underscore the growing urgency. The percentage of employees who have witnessed workplace violence rose from 25% to 30%, while those personally targeted increased from 12% to 15%.  

“Workplace violence remains a growing concern across all industries, and employers have a duty to protect their people,” said Bailey Whitsitt, Compliance Counsel at Traliant. “Our research shows that employees who feel unsafe at work cite a lack of training and procedures. This refreshed course helps close that gap by empowering employees to recognize warning signs, de-escalate conflict, and understand their organization’s prevention plan.” 

The updated training features a realistic narrative that follows a violence prevention guide managing calls to a fictional hotline. Learners engage with scenarios that address threats, warning behaviors, and de-escalation techniques, reinforced by interactive exercises such as the “Spot the Red Flags” game.
