What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

which will provide
reasonable and adequate protection to the lives, safety or health of its

wounds in the skin or via mucous membranes which can occur
when Department of Public Works workers pick up and remove
road kill or other dead animals.

limited to, the proper handling practices of removing road kill; the
personal protective equipment needed; the etiology and modes of
transmission of the disease; decontamination of equipment and
