BOSTON (CBS) – The owner of a Lynn tax preparation company is facing more than $135,000 in fines after she is accused of prohibiting employees and customers from wearing masks and refusing to implement COVID protocols.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) cited Ariana Murrell-Rosario for “willfully failing to develop and implement measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.” Murrell-Rosario is the owner of Liberty Tax Service.
“I believe that the masks are actually the potential source of the spreading,” Murrell-Rosario told WBZ-TV
She told OSHA investigators she believed making her employees wear masks for long shifts would actually be harmful to their health. She feared it could cause illness.
“Anaphylactic reactions, sinus infections, staph bacteria eating away at their nose and they’re getting sores, collapsed lung,” she said.
OSHA began an inspection on March 17 after a referral from the Division of Labor Standards. inspection found that the company stopped employees and customers from wearing masks, despite a mandate in the state. Employees were also required to work within six feet of each and customers other for multiple hours while not wearing masks.
“There could be HIV virus on those masks. Herpes virus, hepatitis viruses,” she said. According to OSHA, Liberty Tax also had inadequate ventilation and failed to put other controls in place such as physical barriers, employee screenings and enhanced cleaning.
Murrell-Rosario said at first the company was giving out disposable masks to customers who wanted one. She said that after a month, some started developing allergic reactions.
Murrell-Rosario then began having customers remove their masks and put them in a sealed bag when they entered. She said some customers were upset by the request, which prompted complaints to OSHA.
The company has 15 days to appeal its fines, which total $136,532
“This employer’s willful refusal to implement basic safeguards places her employees at an increased risk of contracting and spreading the coronavirus,” said OSHA regional administrator Galen Blanton. “Stopping the spread of this virus requires business’ support in implementing COVID-19 Prevention Programs, and ensuring that staff and customers wear face coverings and maintain physical distance from each other.”

Will there be a Boston Mask Party
with people disposing of their
masks en masse?
Maskachusetts.
She might be right...Fauci and his 'health care' comrades have been lying about everything.
Excellent Idea!
Have a hundred thousand people walk by the OSHA offices and toss their mask in front of their doors.
And then you move the protest to Dr. Fuaci’s office.
“Will there be a Boston Mask Party”
It certainly would be a sight if people had a protest and burned their masks and vaccine cards.
Masks are:
1) a sign of submission, subversion and subjugation
2) mandated in order to dehumanize
3) virtue signaling devices
4) meant to provide constant reinforcement of fear
5) used to destroy community, friends and family normal communication
6) implemented to create isolation, confusion, anxiety, destroy human connectivity, trust and interactions
7) mandated to exacerbate illness
8) intended to aid in the abandonment of the belief and reliance on our immune systems
9) intended to refute integrous science
10) signal to positions of power that you are willing to give up all of your rights and freedoms based on anything they say, even if it is a BIG FAT LIE!
OSHA FAQ: Do surgical masks provide protection against SARS?
"Surgical masks are not designed for use as particulate respirators and do not provide as much protection as an N-95 respirator. Most surgical masks do not effectively filter small particles from air and do not prevent leakage around the edge of the mask when the user inhales.

This is OSHA Approved...
Pedo Joe is just following China’s tactics in how to control the population, in fact its happening world wide.
I’m Governor Larry Hogan, and I approve this OSHA persecution.
Dear OSHA chief:
We are not engaged in commerce, which is the large scale sale of goods. The federal laws and regulations you have cited, while not unconstitutional, are not applicable to my business.
I think the Massachusetts Governor’s name is Charlie Baker.
My former neighbor who lives in MA hates the guy.
Can’t dump them in the Charles or Boston Harbor....
How about a mask burning party?
But don’t forget to bring some wienies.
If anybody gets in participants’ grills (ha ha), folks can claim it’s a cooking fire.
The problem with MA is the same as it in NYS.
The people who give a damn just vote with their feet.
Like NYS, MA has been losing House seats for decades.
Wonder if it’ll be one or two this time around...?
More criminal government.
Surgical masks are also USELESS if you have a beard. So many men are growing beards due to business closures, and I want to scream at every one of them wearing a mask in public. You’re literally doing NOTHING, not even marginally nothing, just nothing, wear a mask with a bear.
Meanwhile, I wear a shemagh wrapped tight to my nose and draped down around my shoulders to a doctor’s appointment, and the idiot PA hands me a surgical mask and says, “The doctor would prefer you wear one of these.” I was both ashamed and angry. Ashangry?
I know, but my state’s governor (Hogan), who seems to want people to wear masks forever, would also approve. That’s what I was saying.
Lynn, Lynn the city of sin...
Correct, however, we call him Charlie Parker..."c'mon man" dementia joe called him that so the rest of us have followed suit!
If “social distancing” “works” why do we “need” masks?
If masks “work", why do we “need” “social distancing?”
Goalpost moving...again
What was once an "or" has become an "and"
Maybe that is what was meant by "two layers". /s
