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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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.3.a(1):  The employer did not furnish
employees employment
and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that
were causing or likely
to cause death or serious harm to employees and which will provide
reasonable and adequate
protection to the lives, safety or health of its employees.
(a)Kings Point Village-  Employees of Kings Point DPW were exposed to the
hazard of being
infected with rabies virus through possible direct contact with saliva or
fluids from potentially
rabid animals (e.g, racoons,fox,opposum, cats,dogs,deer) being introduced
into open cuts
wounds in the skin or via mucous membranes which can occur when workers
pick up and
remove road kill or other dead animals.
A reasonable and adequate abatement method 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
transmisson disease;
decontamination of equipment and personal hygiene(e.g, hand washing);
avoidance of
animal/saliva contact; and follow-up procedures in the event of an
exposure incident.
Note: Training shall be provided to all workers who are assigned tasks
where there is
occupational exposure to rabies.e
