CDC Interim Guidance: Risk-based Use of PPE for Reduction of AI Exposure in Livestock Workers

Share:
Engineering and administrative controls are not always sufficient for reducing exposures to confirmed or potentially infected animals and their secretions. Therefore, PPE is needed in some cases to reduce the risk of exposures, especially for workers in direct contact with animals or their secretions. Employers should provide appropriate PPE at no cost as well as training on its proper use. Putting on and removing PPE should occur during work hours.
