Outdoor/Animal Hazards
Outdoor and animal hazards in the workplace present risks that require careful management to ensure safety. Working outdoors exposes employees to weather-related hazards such as extreme temperatures, lightning, or slippery surfaces during rainy conditions. Additionally, encountering wildlife or domestic animals can pose threats ranging from bites and scratches to allergic reactions or diseases. Proper training in recognizing and responding to these hazards, along with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves or boots, is essential. Employers should establish protocols for safely interacting with animals encountered in the workplace and provide employees with information on local wildlife and their behaviors.
