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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 Art 2 Sec (27)(a)(3a)(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 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
section employees have been recognized.
a) Employees of the NY Mills Village Highway Dept. were exposed to the
hazard of being
infected with the rabies virus through possible direct contact with saliva
of potentially rabid
animals (eg, racoons, 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.
