Keeping pets safe in the summer
There are a few things you can do to keep your pet safe during summer. Your pet could get hurt or even die if you don't provide proper supervision. Dogs are at risk from pool parties and fireworks. Cats and dogs are equally at risk of getting stomachaches or intestinal trauma if they are immersed in water. Fireworks should be kept far from pets and out of reach for children.
Working with livestock
Worker's must be aware of the importance and how to maintain health and hygiene when working with livestock. They must be able to recognize the behavior of livestock and know how to escape in an emergency. They must be careful around cows who have just calved. After a cow has given birth, it is not a good idea to turn your back on it. When working with livestock, it is especially important to follow these safety precautions to ensure the safety of everyone on the farm.
Electrical hazards
Electricity and water do not mix. Keep an electrical item far from any body of water. You can decrease the chance of your pet seeking out water elsewhere by adding a fresh water dish. You should fence your yard and ensure that the electrical outlets are properly buried. There are two types of electrical hazards outdoors: underground wires and HVAC system wiring. If in doubt, contact a professional electrician. Avoid allowing your pet near electric wires if the dangers are too great.
Common kitchen cleaning supplies
Many common cleaning products for the kitchen are safe for pets. Baking soda absorbs odors but is gentle and non-abrasive. It can also be used to clean hard surfaces. Hydrogen peroxide, another safe cleaning agent, isn't harmful to animals. It breaks down into water and oxygen. It is therefore a great antiseptic. Lemon juice is a great antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant.
Service animals
People with mobility impairments or disabilities need assistance from service animals. These animals are able to alert people to seizures, call for assistance, retrieve items and stop dangerous behaviors. It is essential that emergency preparedness policies allow service animals to be with their owners at Shelter In Place during evacuations. Agencies must provide shelter and transportation for service animals. As a general rule, service animals are welcomed in ALL places serving the public, including schools, public spaces, and businesses.
