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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

General-duty citation text

NYSLL Article 2, Section 27(a)(3a)(1):  The employer did not furnish to
each of its
employees employment and a place of employment which is free from
recognized hazards
that are causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to its
employees and which
will provide reasonable and adequate protection to the lives, safety or
health of its
employees:
In applying this paragraph, fundamental distinctions between private and
public sector
employment have been recognized.
(a) Hunter Village Hwy. Dept. - Employees assigned to pick up roadkill at
the highway
department were exposed to the hazard of being infected with rabies virus
through direct
contact with saliva of potentially rabid animals (such as racoons, deer)
being introduced into
open cuts or wounds in the skin via mucuous membranes.  Feasible and
useful abatement
methods for reducing this hazard, among others are:
(1) Training.  A comprehensive training program including proper handling
practices,
personal protective equipment, the etiology and modes of transmission of
the disease,
decontamination and avoidance of animal/saliva contact shall be
implemented.
NOTE: Training shall be provided to all workers who are assigned tasks
where there is
occupational exposure to rabies.
