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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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 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.
a) Employees of the Village of Northport's Public Works Department were
exposed to the
hazard of being infected with the rabies virus through possible direct
contact with saliva or fluids
from potentially rabid animals (eg, raccoons, fox, opposum, cats, dogs,
deer or others) being
introduced into open cuts or wounds in the skin or via mucous membranes
which can occur
when workers pick up and remove road kill or other dead animals.
Reasonable and adequate
abatement methods for reducing this hazard, among others is the
development and
implementation of an effective comprehensive rabies control training
program including but not
necessarily limited to, the proper handling practices of removing road
kill; 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 envent of an exposure
incident.
Note : Training shall be provided to all workers, who are assigned tasks
where there is
occupational exposure to rabies.
