Control measure
Joint working at animal facilities
Control measure knowledge
Where the facilities contain dangerous animals, personnel should liaise with on-site staff to determine locations with potential hazards and to identify safe access and egress routes. Personnel should be accompanied by on-site staff and there should not be any lone working.
Personnel should remain vigilant, especially regarding security arrangements in animal facilities, to prevent themselves from being accidently locked in cages or other areas. On-site CCTV may be used to monitor and assess any activity that could impact on fire and rescue service personnel.
