3.1.2.2.2
Protective Equipment for Workers
Purpose: Providing workers with appropriate protective equipment (PPE) ensures that they are protected from injuries or zoonotic diseases when handling animals. PPE safeguards both workers and animals, maintaining safety and compliance with health regulations.
Poor Outcome:
Workers do not receive or fail to use proper PPE, increasing the risk of injuries and exposure to diseases. This leads to higher accident rates, reduced worker safety, and potential legal issues due to non-compliance with regulations.
Expected Outcome:
Workers are consistently provided with appropriate PPE and trained in its use. The use of PPE minimizes injuries and exposure risks, improving overall safety and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Excellent Outcome:
PPE is fully integrated into the daily operations, with advanced protective gear used for maximum safety. Workers consistently demonstrate expert knowledge of PPE usage, resulting in a zero-injury environment and exemplary compliance with safety standards.
