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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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.  In applying this paragraph, fundamental distinctions
between private and public employment have been recognized.
a) Sharon Springs Village DPW - Employees assigned to pick up road
killed animals were exposed to the hazard of being infected with
rabies virus through direct contact with saliva of potentially
rabid animals (such as raccoon or skunk) being introduced into open
cuts or wounds in the skin via mucous membranes. Reasonable and
adequate abatement methods for reducing this hazard, among others,
are:    (1) Training. A comprehensive training program including
proper handling practices, personal protective equipment, the
etiology and modes of transmission of the disease, decontamination
and avoidance of animal/saliva contact shall be implemented.
NOTE : Training shall be provided to all workers who are assigned
tasks where there is occupational exposure to rabies.
1. Highway Department employees were potentially exposed to
rabies while picking up road killed animals. Employees could
contract rabies if saliva from an infected animal enters a cut in
the skin.
2. Rabies exposure is a recognized hazard, as evidenced by NYSDOH
research and prevention programs, industry recognition, and common
sense recognition.
3.  Rabies could cause serious physical harm or death.
4.  Feasible and useful abatement method is to provide training to
the employees assigned to pick up road kill.
