New York Workplace Violence Prevention Training Course

 

PublicSchoolWORKS’ comprehensive online training courses are designed to meet the requirements of the New York Labor Law § 27-B and 12 NYCRR Part 800.6. One course addresses the essential elements needed to protect employees from workplace violence, including conflict resolution, nonviolent self-defense responses. A second, customized course will address district-specific risk factors and procedures.

Let's Talk!

Ensure Safety and Compliance with Updated Training

The new regulations are effective from May 3, 2024, and apply to public school districts, charter schools, and boards of cooperative educational services (BOCES) which were previously exempted. Our new training courses cover the key requirements outlined in the New York Workplace Violence Prevention Law:

Our course is designed to ensure compliance with New York Labor Law § 27-B by providing comprehensive information and training on workplace violence prevention including:

  • The requirements of the Workplace Violence Prevention Act and Department of Labor regulations.
  • The definition of workplace violence and the different types of workplace violence.
  • Risk factors for workplace violence.

Our course emphasizes practical strategies for conflict resolution, ensuring that staff are prepared to handle tense situations effectively and safely. The training includes:

  • How to respond should you become the target of workplace violence or witness it in the workplace.
  • Nonviolent self-defense responses.

We’ll work with your district to add a customized course including the mandated district-specific information:

  • Risk factors in each specific workplace (may differ by position and/or building)
  • Location of written prevention program
  • Measures employees can take to protect themselves (including specific procedures implemented by district)
  • Details of workplace violence prevention program

Quotation
PSW's Workplace Violence Prevention Program training aligned seamlessly with our existing Workplace Violence Prevention Protocol. This alignment ensures that our staff received consistent and comprehensive training that adheres to our district's specific needs. One of the standout aspects of our collaboration with PSW was their ability to distribute our district's policy effectively and ensure that all staff members verified they had received and read the policy. This step was crucial in meeting state compliance expectations and fostering a well-informed and prepared workforce. Peter Sullivan, Director of Human Resources, Windsor Unified School District
“I’m not concerned as to whether we have a training plan in place that meets New York mandates because PublicSchoolWORKS does that for me. I enjoy when I meet with the PSW team – they share what’s new, things beyond PESH compliance, like phishing training. It’s nice to have everything in one place and I know they are readily available when I need something or change my mind about this or that. They hear my request and immediately make it all work. I know that after I make a call or send an email to PSW, things will be taken care of.” – TheriJo Snyder, Superintendent of Cherry Valley-Springfield Central School District
"I reached out to PublicSchoolWORKS and they walked me through the system. That’s when I realized the program did more than online training. It’s so robust." – School District of Minnesota
"My first interaction with PublicSchoolWORKS was a presentation of truly one of the best webinars I have attended. Their belief in and knowledge of the program was evident in the presentation. This level of excellence continued during each interaction of the implementation process. Other companies should emulate this level of service. PublicSchoolWORKS has been a delight to work with." – Audubon Public School District
"As a Career Technical High School principal we deal with many companies, vendors and agencies. Of those companies it's often like pulling teeth to get someone to call/email you back. PublicSchoolWORKS is the exception. No matter how many changes I ask for or additions I make, they get it done and quickly I might add. 10/10 customer service ALWAYS! Very impressive and it's why I recommend PSW to the other local administrators." – Mahoning County CTC
