Albany, NY (WorkersCompensation.com) - Speaker Carl Heastie, Labor Committee Chair Latoya Joyner and Assemblymember Karines Reyes today announced that the Assembly has passed the Hero Act, which will establish health and safety standards to protect New Yorkers from airborne infectious diseases in the workplace (A.2681-B, Reyes).

The Democratic-led Assembly on Monday approved a bill that would require businesses to have safety protocols in place to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Known as the NY HERO Act by its supporters, the bill also requires businesses set up “employer-employee workplace health and safety committees,” which will evaluate the effectiveness and application of workplace health and safety protocols.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â As the number of Californians testing positive for COVID-19 continues to climb, California workers have new protections to help keep them healthy.
Assembly Bill 685, which took effect Jan. 1 of this year, deals with COVID-19 exposure, notification, and violations.
The new law requires employers to provide notice within one business day to employees who have been exposed to COVID-19 at their worksite and report to the California Department of Public Health if an outbreak occurs. The reason that we had to introduce this is because we had lots of employers who were not notifying their employees when they had been exposed to someone who was positive for COVID-19,â said bill author Assemblymember Eloise Reyes. It seemed like it was common sense, but it wasn t happening.
