Why the New York RWSA Matters
The NY Retail Worker Safety Act addresses rising workplace violence in retail settings through mandatory prevention programs, training, and safety measures.

Proper safety protocols protect workers, maintain operations, and shield businesses from liability.

Preparation is key to empowering employees to respond safely to workplace violence, especially in retail where regulations are specific and stringent. Employees trained to recognize warning signs of workplace violence can do their part to keep violence from happening through reporting and bystander intervention.
