Burbank, California is home to many industries ranging from health care to retail sales. The highest paying industries in Burbank are utilities, mining, quarrying, oil and gas extraction, and agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting.[i] The experts at Bridge Safety Consultants offer comprehensive sexual harassment training at your business, tailored to your industry and even more specifically directly towards your business.
As employment rates continue to grow in Burbank, it’s important that Burbank’s industries protect themselves and their employees in the wake of the #metoo movement. According to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the second highest number of sexual harassment claims come from the retail industry, which is the second largest employeer in Burbank.[ii],[iii] Burbank is also home to a lot of production studios and film-related industries; both areas that gained a lot of attention during the #metoo movement.
In the wake of the #metoo movement, it’s critical that employers in every sector better prepare themselves against sexual harassment.
It’s important that your company offers clear and comprehensive sexual harassment training, not only to protect against sexual harassment claims, but to abide by the law. A new California law (SB1343) requires that every company, even those with as few as 5 employees must provide comprehensive training on sexual harassment, abusive behavior, and sexual orientation before the end of 2019. The law requires employers to provide at least two hours of sexual harassment prevention training and education to all supervisory employees and at least one hour of such training to all non-supervisory employees. Training and education must be provided once every two years thereafter. In-person training provides the necessary space for questions and clarifications.
Regardless of what sector your Burbank business falls into, the team at Bridge Safety Consultants can provide in-person and remote training sessions where attendees are engaged and interested, and really learn what constitutes harassment in today’s environment.

All I want to say is WOW, Richard was absolutely amazing and what a great job he did. He trained 759 People Yesterday
The employees have not stopped approaching me to let me know that this was the best training that they have ever had.
They said they were dreading this 1 Hour training, but how the time flew due to the Conversations/Teachings, as well as the interactions he had with the team during this training.
Thank you... Brenda did a great job of keeping the employees engaged throughout the entire training, and mixing demonstrations and stories to explain all the concepts. Both the Spanish and English trainings were wonderful. I thought this was much more effective than the video trainings or in-house trainings we have done in the past.
Richard's training was once again fantastic! He really does an excellent job of keeping the group engaged throughout the training. I'm always amazed at how many compliments I get on the training after. In fact, our CEO joined the first training on Tuesday 9/15 just to compliment Richard on his presentation and how much he got out of it last year. Thank you again!
Your training was the best we have ever had - on any topic! It's because the trainer kept people engaged and interested, and they learned much more than usual.
Thank You Richard for your amazing job! You make us laugh, learn and be proactive! Thank you again.
