Text For Citation: 02 Item/Group: 001 Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.1030(f)(2)(i): Hepatitis B vaccination was not made available within 10 working days of initial assignment to all employee(s) with occupational exposure: a. Throughout Establishment: On or about September 24, 2015, eight (8) employees from the SIRT were expected to render first-aid services to injured co-workers and the employer did not offer these employees the Hepatitis B vaccine within ten (10) working days of assignment. WALMART WAS PREVIOUSLY CITED FOR A VIOLATION OF THIS OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH STANDARD OR ITS EQUIVALENT STANDARD, WHICH WAS CONTAINED IN OSHA INSPECTION NUMBER 315502880. CITATION NO. 1, ITEM NO. 2A, AND WAS AFFIRMED AS FINAL ORDER ON 9/23/2013, WITH RESPECT TO WORKPLACE LOCATED AT 2150 CHILI AVENUE, ROCHESTER, NY 14624. The employer fails to assure effective protection for the control of bloodborne pathogens such as the Hepatitis B vaccination as required by the standard, as demonstrated on September 24, 2015, when employees were assigned duties as first aid providers and thereby occupationally exposed to bloodborne pathogens and or other potentially infectious materials (OPIM), as well as health hazards associated with those types of exposures, while working at Wal-Mart's Distribution Center #7035 located at 18815 NW 115th Avenue in Alachua, Florida 32615.
