This webinar looks at the hazards found in animal industry workplaces, from bites, scratches and manual handling to sharps, zoonotic disease, radiation, volatile gases and pressure vessels such as autoclaves and oxygen cylinders. It shows how checklists help staff check the workplace for hazards and contribute to risk assessments, working through example checklists for cage set up and housekeeping.
It finishes with incident reports: recording near misses as well as injuries, describing how and what happened, and including witness details, injury details and whether first aid was given.
Presented by Sami Lewis as part of the ACVN webinar series.
