Sexual Harassment Training Regulations by State

Disclaimer

To help prevent, identify and correct sexual harassment in the workplace, many employers choose to develop an anti-harassment policy. While such policies, and sexual harassment training, are not required in every state, these preventive actions are becoming increasingly common. Additionally, various federal laws and court decisions have made it clear that employers should provide sexual harassment training to all employees, no matter where they are located.

Because there is not one overarching law for the entire United States, current laws vary from requiring training only for local government employees to training being required for every private and public employee.

In an effort to make sense of these differences, SafetySkills has created a quick reference guide for employers — and employees — to understand what may be required within their state. We have also included links to any applicable laws on each page. 

Remember that this page is not a comprehensive description of sexual harassment laws across the United States. It is intended only to act as a resource by providing a brief overview of each state’s training requirements, where applicable. 

Not every state currently has specific sexual harassment training requirements, but this may change in the future. While we will do our best to update these pages as laws change, we cannot guarantee their accuracy. Always consult your state’s guidelines to ensure you are following the latest regulations.
