We want to let you know that the New York State Department of Labor (NYSDOL) has released guidance on the New York Retail Worker Safety Act.
New York enacted legislation (Assembly Bill A8947C), which added workplace violence prevention requirements for retail employers. New York also enacted legislation (Senate Bill S740) to help clarify these requirements. The workplace violence prevention policy and training requirements are now in effect.
The NYSDOL has launched a website that provides retail employers with policy, training, and frequently asked questions resources to help employers comply with the requirements under the New York Retail Worker Safety Act.
Review the NYSDOL’s website for guidance on adhering to the New York Retail Worker Safety Act’s requirements.
