The Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration has issued $4,500 in proposed penalties after finding one serious violation and two non-serious violations during inspections at Indianapolis Animal Care Services.
Records show the state inspected Indianapolis Animal Care Services, 2600 S. Harding St., between April 1 and July 7 and issued a safety order on July 29.
IOSHA conducted the initial inspection following a complaint that an employee suffered a dog bite that resulted in two separate amputations of the employee’s pinky finger, records show. Those records indicated that the employee was not wearing"bite or puncture-resistant PPE" on their hands or arms when the incident happened.
Inspectors also found the shelter’s workplace hazard assessment was ineffective in that it did not address hazards such as those from dog bites. The third violation, considered non-serious, said IACS did not provide a copy of certain records within four business hours.The $4,500 in penalties have been deferred pending receipt of evidence of corrective action.IACS has been working to abate the violations that were found. We have until August 31 to send the final report. While OSHA does not have standards in place specific to animal shelters or animal handling, they were able to give us some helpful tools.
