LA Hotel Training
Los Angeles hotel employers must now use approved training providers for mandatory worker protection training.
The City of Los Angeles has announced the list of approved training providers for hotel worker safety and anti-harassment training required under Los Angeles Municipal Code § 187.01. Hotels covered by this ordinance must ensure their employees receive training from providers on this approved list, and training completion must be documented and made available for inspection by the Los Angeles Department of Public Works.
The training requirement applies to hotels with 60 or more guest rooms. Covered employees include housekeeping staff, room service workers, and other hotel employees who work alone in guest rooms or isolated areas. Training must address safety protocols, harassment prevention, and emergency response procedures specific to hotel workplace environments.
Using unapproved training providers creates municipal code violations even if the training content meets substantive requirements. The ordinance requires hotels to maintain training records for inspection, and failure to use approved providers exposes employers to citations and penalties under LAMC § 187.01. Multi-property hotel operators must verify compliance across all Los Angeles locations.
The approved provider list is available through the City of Los Angeles Department of Public Works. Hotels should review their current training programs immediately to ensure they’re using approved providers and maintaining proper documentation. Existing training completed through unapproved providers may not satisfy the ordinance’s requirements.
Are your hotel worker training programs using approved providers under Los Angeles Municipal Code?
