As part of USC’s commitment to maintaining a safe and secure environment for faculty, staff, students, alumni, volunteers, and visitors, the university maintains a Violence-Free Campus Workplace Policy. Recently, California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) released new regulations requiring employers, including USC, to develop a formal plan and train employees on the prevention of workplace violence. To this end, USC will launch a new annual training requirement with the Workplace Violence Prevention Training available via TrojanLearn beginning July 1, 2024. 

This program broadly applies to all employees of the USC community in non-healthcare settings including all full-time and part-time faculty (“Faculty”), all non-faculty university employees, professional research staff and post-doctoral fellows, student workers, and contractors.
