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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 27a (3a)(1):  The employer did not furnish to
each of its
employees, employment and a place of employment 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 East Hampton Department of Natural Resources and Environmental
Protection, during the performance of their assigned duties, employees 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 of Lyme Disease.  This
hazard is
recognized by the Centers of 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.
Reasonable
and adequate methods to abate this hazard include, but are not limited to:
1)  Implement an
education program for employees with exposure which includes the signs and
symptoms of
Lyme Disease, the importance of seeking immediate medical attention, self
inspection for
attached ticks 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, and
proper use of repellents and insecticides.
