General-duty citation text

NYSLL Art 2 Sec(27a)(1): Employer did not furnish to each of its employees
employment
and a place of employment which was free from recognized hazards that were
causing or
were likely to cause death or serious physical harm to its employees and
wich 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 section
employment have
been recognized.
A) Employees of the Ilion CSD Jr Sr High School were exposed to the hazard
of being
infected with the rabies virus through possible direct contact with saliva
of potentially rabid
animals (eg, raccoons, cats, dogs, and others) being introduced into open
cuts or wounds in
the skin or via mucous membranes which can occur when workers pick up and
remove dead
animals. Reasonable and adequate abatement methods for reducing this
hazard among others,
are:
1) Training: The employer had not developed and implemented an effective
rabies control
training program dealing with, but not necessarily limited to, the proper
handling practices of
removing dead animals, the personal protective equipment needed, the
etiology and modes of
transmission of the disease, decontamination of equipment and personal
hygiene (eg, hand
washing), avoidance of animal/saliva contact and follow-up procedures in
the event of an
exposure incident.
