I. PEOPLE
A. Physical Distancing. To ensure employees comply with physical distancing requirements, you agree
that you will do the following:
Ensure 6 ft. distance between personnel, unless safety or core function of the work activity requires
a shorter distance. Any time personnel are less than 6 ft. apart from one another, personnel must
wear acceptable face coverings.
Tightly confined spaces will be occupied by only one individual at a time, unless all occupants are
wearing face coverings. If occupied by more than one person, will keep occupancy under 50% of
maximum capacity.
Each business or entity, including those that have been designated as essential under Empire State
Development's Essential Business Guidance, must develop a written Safety Plan outlining how its workplace
will prevent the spread of COVID-19. A business may fill out this template to fulfill the requirement, or may
develop its own Safety Plan. This plan does not need to be submitted to a state agency for approval but
must be retained on the premises of the business and must made available to the New York State
Department of Health (DOH) or local health or safety authorities in the event of an inspection.
Business owners should refer to the State’s industry-specific guidance for more information on how to safely
operate. For a list of regions and sectors that are authorized to re-open, as well as detailed guidance for each
sector, please visit: forward.ny.gov. If your industry is not included in the posted guidance but your
businesses has been operating as essential, please refer to ESD's
Essential Business Guidance and adhere
to the guidelines within this Safety Plan. Please continue to regularly check the New York Forward site for
guidance that is applicable to your business or certain parts of your business functions, and consult the state
