Safe practises whilst working with dogs PPE should always be used to prevent any accidents from happening whilst working in any business environment as well as with working with animals. PPE should be individually tailored to suit the needs of what act you are undertaking, if you feel there is not adequate PPE or it is not appropriate you should use alternative methods. It is always important to use safe lifting techniques so you are able to prevent injury to yourself or possibly to others working around you as well as the animal that you are working with, so remember not to injure yourself or those around you by using bad lifting techniques this may advocate the animal also. If you feel the dog is too heavy to be lifted up try using two persons within the facility to lift the animal and always ensuring both of you carry out the correct lifting procedures with the animal you are dealing with. If the animal is wild or if it is of a bad temperament then always ensure you take precautions such as placing a muzzle over the dog’s snout to prevent yourself from being bitten by the dog, also be wary of where the dog’s claws are as they are capable of causing damage to both you and those around you.
