Daily News | Jersey Shore beach patrols get 73 violations from state Department of Labor
The department initially investigated safety issues at the two beaches, and later launched the larger-scale probe “to spread knowledge and awareness of these dangers in an effort to prevent future tragedies,” the department said.
The department’s Office of Public Employees Occupational Safety and Health headed up the investigation, which focused on beach patrols that employ public employees. PEOSH conducted the investigation in July and August, and performed 58 inspections in Monmouth, Ocean, Atlantic, and Cape May Counties, the department said.
