On June 18, 2020, I presented a complimentary webinar called “Reopening New York, Part II”. For those who couldn’t attend the live webinar, we’re happy to make it available for you to watch at your convenience.
In the webinar, we discuss:
- Industry-Specific Reopening Guidelines
- Employee COVID-19 Screening
- Mandatory Safety Plans
- Recent Updates and Planning Ahead
Most of New York has reached Phase 3 of its 4-phased business reopening plan. New York City lags behind the rest of the State. In addition to the identified phases, New York has issued statewide guidelines for some activities.
The State’s industry-specific guidelines have been revised even for businesses eligible to open in earlier phases. Companies and other organizations must continue to monitor the requirements and make adjustments to their operations. If they don’t, there could be severe consequences, including having their business shut down.
Why You Should Watch “Reopening New York, Part II”
Even if you watched our first webinar in this series, there have been important updates since then. We address many of those in this webinar.
Make sure you’re aware of the latest guidance for your organization. For example, the list of COVID-19 symptoms has expanded. The rules for how to handle positive answers to your daily screening questionnaire have changed. You must have a “central point of contact” to oversee those questionnaires. And, you can’t require employees to submit coronavirus antibody results.
Plus, find out if you have all the necessary signs up in your building or worksite!
Whether your company has reopened or not, and regardless of what phase your industry is in, all New York businesses and organizations should be aware of the State’s reopening guidelines and the related information presented in this webinar.
