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.
Businesses will have to follow specific standards when it comes to providing personal protective equipment, social distancing and guaranteeing break times to employees so they can wash their hands.
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.
