Four Hazards in Veterinary
Medicine
O Chemical Hazards:
- Ingestion or handling of hazardous medication or materials
O Physical Hazards:
- Bodily injuries from working with animals and medical
equipment
O Biological Hazards:
- Contracted from handling medical wastes
O Zoonotic Hazards:
-
Disease that are spread from animals to humans through
viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungus

Chemical Hazards
O Chemical Hazards:
- Ingestion or handling of hazardous medication
or materials
Drugs/Medication

Chemical Hazards
O These chemicals can cause damage to the
skin and eyes and to the lungs if they are
inhaled.
O Some chemicals may also cause abortion
and/or fetal abnormalities if absorbed into
the bloodstream.
O Never use a substance for anything other
than its intended use!!!!

Physical Hazards
O Physical Hazards:
- Bodily injuries from working with animals and
medical equipment
Animal injuries – bites, kicking, scratches
Back injuries – improperly lifting heavy objects or
animals
Falls on wet floors
Exposure to x-rays

Physical Hazards
O Physical injuries from animals are the most
common.
O Physical hazards are especially dangerous
when working with farm animals due to their
size.
O Cats needle-like teeth and sharp claws
harbor bacteria that can cause serious
illness in humans.
Safety & Sanitation

Physical Hazards
O To prevent injury proper clothing and
footwear should always be worn when
working with animals.
O Learning animal behavior and the correct
handling and restraint techniques can help
prevent injuries.

Biological hazards
O Biological Hazards:
- Contracted from handling medical wastes
Living tissue and organisms
Blood
Urine
Live vaccines
Medical waste that has had contact with living tissue
(urine soaked blankets, bandage material, etc.)
Needles and scalpels “Sharps”

Biological Hazards
O The danger of biohazards is that they can
spread disease from one animal to another or
from animals to humans.
O Medical wastes must be disposed of properly!
O Gloves and protective clothing should be worn
when handling biohazards.

Zoonotic Hazards
O There are several ways to prevent the
spread of these diseases including:
• Vaccination of animals and humans
• Proper waste disposal
• Isolating infected animals
• Proper handling of infected animals
• Proper sanitation of hospital
• Hand washing
• Wearing protective clothing

Types of Sanitation
O Cleaning –physically removing all visible signs of dirt
and organic matter such as feces, blood, hair, etc.
O Disinfecting –destroying most microorganisms on
nonliving things by physical or chemical means.
O Sterilizing – destroying all microorganisms and
viruses on an object using chemicals and/or heat.
O Antiseptics – solutions that destroy microorganisms
or inhibit their growth on living tissue.
