In order to ensure a safe workplace and a hearing process free from any form of intimidation, the New York State Workers' Compensation Board prohibits both visitors and employees from carrying or bearing firearms or any other weapons on Board premises. This prohibition applies to all weapons as defined in the New York State Penal Law, and extends to all employees, parties, witnesses and visitors appearing on Board premises.

As a reminder, all visitors entering Board premises, along with their bags, briefcases, or other packages, are subject to search. Persons who do not submit to a search will not be permitted access and may be asked to leave the premises
