In my company that was a mandatory all company meeting where a lawyer made a powerpoint presentation for a couple of hours. Then there was some sort quiz and us signing something as far as I can remember.

I believe the state requirement is for managers, not regular employees.

Every 2 years I have to spend a couple hours taking a traffic-school-style online training.

All employees must receive info, companies > 50 need to offer two hours of classroom time within six months and then every two years.
