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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 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.  In
applying this paragraph, fundamental distintions between private
and public employment were recognized.
(a)  Town of Ancram Hwy. Dept. - 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 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.
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 infection,
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 repellants and insecticides.
