New York HERO Act
In accordance with the New York HERO Act (New York Labor Law, Section 218-b), Keuka College adopted the NYSDOL airborne infectious disease exposure prevention model plan (the “Plan”). The Plan can be found in Appendix A (p. ) of this Employee Handbook. The Plan is only required to be implemented or “activated” when the New York State Commissioner of Health designates an airborne infectious disease as a highly contagious communicable disease that presents a serious risk of harm to the public health. The College will notify employees when a designation is active and when the Plan is active. Any questions or concerns regarding the NY HERO Act or the Airborne Infectious Disease Exposure Prevention Plan should be directed to The Office of Human Resources.
