General-duty citation text

NYSLL Article 2, Section 27a(3a)(1):  The employer did not furnish to each
of its
employees, employment and a place of employment which was 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:
(a) At the Town of Lloyd Highway Department, employees, during the
performance of their
assigned duties, are exposed to the hazard of contracting Lyme Disease
while working in tick
habitat areas identified as having a high or moderate risk of harboring
the tick vector Lyme
Disease.  This hazard is recognized by the Centers for Disease Control in
their June 4, 1999
publication, "Recommendations for the Use of Lyme Disease Vaccine,
Recommendations of
the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices." This hazard is not
likely to cause death
but is likely to cause substantial illness and impairment if not
identified
and treated promptly.
In applying this paragraph, fundamental distinctions between private and
public sector
employment have been recognized.
Reasonable and adequate methods to abate this hazard include, but are not
limited:
Implement and education program for employees with exposure which includes
the signs and
symptoms of Lyme Disease infection, the importance of seeking immediate
medical attention,
self inspection for attached tick at the conclusion of each work day when
exposure to tick
habitat occurred, the proper method of removal of attached ticks, proper
clothing for work in
tick habitat, proper use of repellants and insecticides, and the risks and
benefits of
vaccination against Lyme Disease.
Make available vaccinations to employees assigned work duties which
exposes them to tick
habitat in accordance with the current Centers for Disease Control (CDC)
Guidelines.
