Veterinary hazards & the importance of PPE

Animal health professionals such as veterinarians, technicians and assistants face job-related hazards. Taking care of animals can put veterinary workers at risk of bites and kicks, causing scratches or other more serious injuries.

To reduce the risk of occupational injuries, it is important that veterinarians use the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
