When you need this document
You employ anyone in California (the workplace violence prevention plan is required for nearly all California employers), or an inspector, client, or prequal reviewer asked to see your written plan and incident log.
A workplace violence prevention plan and its violent incident log are what a Cal/OSHA inspector requests to confirm you meet Labor Code section 6401.9. The plan has to be specific to how and where your crews actually work, from occupied homes to roadside sites, and the violent incident log has to be maintained and retained for five years.
The regulations it is written to, applied to roofing work
- §California: Labor Code section 6401.9 (workplace violence prevention plan)
- §California: 8 CCR 3203 (the IIPP the plan coordinates with)
California requires both plans
Every California employer needs a written IIPP (8 CCR 3203) and a written workplace violence prevention plan (Labor Code section 6401.9). Labor Code 6401.9 lets the violence plan sit inside the IIPP or stand alongside it. They are separate documents and are priced separately.

Written for roofing work, not a template
Every california workplace violence prevention plan we build for roofing contractors is written around the hazards roofing crews actually face: falls from roof edges and openings, ladder use, hot work / torches, heat exposure, material hoisting. Here is the substance that goes into it.
Real roofing jobs where a WVPP matters
- ▸Tearing off and re-decking a two-story steep-slope shingle roof while a ground crew loads debris below and no perimeter guardrail is up yet.
- ▸Running a torch-applied modified-bitumen system on a low-slope commercial roof, with LP torches and hot kettles working next to roof drains and mechanical curbs.
- ▸Loading bundles of shingles onto the roof by ladder hoist while other trades pass through the drop zone below.
OSHA standards on the Roofing focus list
The WVPP is generated against these real 29 CFR sections for roofing work, and every citation is validated against a verified standards table before delivery:
- §29 CFR 1926.501(b)(10): fall protection during roofing work on low-slope roofs, 6 feet or more above a lower level
- §29 CFR 1926.501(b)(11): fall protection on steep roofs, 6 feet or more above a lower level
- §29 CFR 1926.502: fall protection systems criteria (guardrails, PFAS, warning lines, safety monitors)
- §29 CFR 1926.503: fall protection training requirements
- §29 CFR 1926.1053: ladders
- §29 CFR 1926.451: scaffolds
- §29 CFR 1926.352: fire prevention during welding, cutting, and heating (LP torches, hot kettles, torch-applied membrane)
- §29 CFR 1926.350: gas welding and cutting (handling and securing LP and fuel-gas cylinders on the roof)
- §29 CFR 1910.1200: hazard communication (adhesives, solvents, hot asphalt)
- §OSH Act 5(a)(1) General Duty Clause: heat illness prevention
What roofing crews get cited for
The plan is written to close out the issues that draw citations in roofing work:
- ⚠Fall protection, general requirements (29 CFR 1926.501): unguarded roof edges, uncovered skylights and holes, and unanchored harnesses. This is OSHA's single most-cited construction standard, and roofing draws citations under it more than almost any other trade.
- ⚠Ladders (29 CFR 1926.1053): the roof-access ladder not extended 3 feet above the eave, or set at the wrong angle.
- ⚠Hazard communication (29 CFR 1910.1200): missing labels and safety data sheets for the adhesives, solvents, and hot asphalt kept on the roof and in the truck.

▸Which regulations does the WVPP cite?
California: Labor Code section 6401.9 (workplace violence prevention plan); California: 8 CCR 3203 (the IIPP the plan coordinates with). Every citation is validated against a verified regulations table before delivery, never written from memory.

Reply to your delivery email and we revise the document free, within 24 hours and as many times as it takes, until your GC or prequal reviewer accepts it.
