General-duty citation text

NYSLL Article 2, Sec tion 27-a.3.a(1): The 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 and health
of its employees.
a) Huntington Town did not provide training for all golf course employees
employed at the Dix
Hills Park on the hazards associated with exposure to Lyme Disease. Golf
Course Maintenance
workers, during the performance of their assigned duties, are exposed to
the hazard of
contracting Lyme Disease while working in tick habitat areas that have
been identified as having
a high or moderate risk of harboring the tick vector of Lyme Disease. 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 the implementation of an educational 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 tick 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.
