Employee Health Services has developed a set of materials to standardize information provided to faculty, staff, and students in both research and clinical settings regarding the proper procedures to be followed by individuals who are bitten by animals. These materials have been reviewed and approved by the Campus Veterinarian, Environmental Health & Safety, and Cowell Student Health Center. Animal bites are a leading cause of workplace injuries on the UC Davis campus and in the interest of employee safety and injury prevention all animal handlers should review the following materials:

• A Notice to be posted in all locations where animals are handled.
• Fact sheet on Medical Care of Bites.
• Training Document for First Aid Procedures and Medical Care for Animal Bites.
• A Post Test for First Aid Procedures and Medical Care for Animal Bites.
• List of Recommendations for posting and using these materials.

Employee Health Services personnel are available to assist you in interpreting this information, and in providing additional training as needed. Contact Michael O'Malley, MD, MPH, or Janet Ford, MS, PT, at 752-2330 for additional information.
