Work Violence Prevention
What is the New York State Workplace Violence Prevention Law and Regulation?
On September 6, 2023, NYS Governor Kathy Hochul signed the Workplace Prevention (WVP) Act. This was a modification of the original law, signed into law on June 7, 2006. This legislation requires public employers to perform a risk evaluation of their workplaces and develop and implement programs to prevent and minimize workplace assaults and homicides.
