Radiation exposure
— Provide lead aprons, thyroid shields, and lead-lined gloves for staff. Implement strict positioning and distance protocols for X-ray procedures. Use fixed and mobile barriers to minimize exposure. Train staff on safe operation procedures and maintain proper calibration and servicing of radiographic equipment.
Compressed gas cylinder hazards
— Secure cylinders upright using chains or brackets. Store in ventilated areas away from heat sources. Train staff on proper handling and transport. Inspect regularly for leaks or damage. Clearly label contents and ensure proper regulators are used.
Noise-induced hearing loss
— Install soundproofing in kennels and loud treatment areas. Provide noise-canceling earmuffs for staff. Rotate staff out of high-noise zones regularly. Train employees on hearing protection and conduct routine hearing tests. Keep barking animals separated when possible to reduce overall noise levels.
Slips, trips, and falls
— Maintain non-slip flooring and place absorbent mats in wet areas. Address spills immediately using designated cleaning protocols. Keep walkways clear of clutter and cables. Ensure proper lighting throughout the clinic. Provide non-slip footwear recommendations for staff and conduct regular safety inspections.
