BUFFALO, N.Y. – Lippes Mathias attorney Emma B. McEvoy joined the Home Care Association of New York State for a webinar titled "OSHA's New Emergency Temporary Standard for Health Care: What it Means for Home Care and Hospice Providers," which discussed the emergency temporary standard (ETS) for health care employers recently issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). 

During the webinar, Emma and an OSHA Compliance Assistance Specialist outlined key requirements of the Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) and discussed the implications of ETS as it intersects with New York State and local government mandates or guidance that may supersede the OSHA ETS. 

Emma focuses her practice on counseling and litigation matters for the employment and insurance recovery teams, as well as on general litigation matters.  While in law school, she interned at the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of New York and was a member of the firm’s summer associate program.
