The Employment Safety and Health Guide is an essential research tool for legal counsel and safety professionals who need complete and timely coverage of the workplace regulations issued by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA).
OSHA has cited the Denver Zoological Foundation Inc. for alleged unsafe working conditions following a fatal accident where an employee was mauled by a 6-year-old male jaguar at the Denver Zoo in February.
A citation issued to the organization by OSHA's Denver area office alleges one serious violation of the Occupational Safety and Health Act for failure to provide appropriate protocols to prevent inadvertent contact with dangerous animals. The citation carries a proposed penalty of $3,500.
"This was a tragic incident, and we hope to work cooperatively with the Denver Zoological Foundation staff to assist them in enhancing their safety and health program," said Herb Gibson, OSHA area director in Denver. "Safety and health programs are an important part of every organization, and they instill a safety culture that reduces the potential for accidents."
