Veterinary Technology

The most authoritative safety reference in the veterinary profession

This Veterinary Safety Manual is intended to provide a veterinary practice with the information its staff needs to reduce the risk of occupational related illness and injury. While regulatory compliance requirements are summarized, the emphasis is on risk reduction, whether required by a regulatory agency or not. Risks that have resulted in employee injury and/or illness and workers’ compensation losses in veterinary practices receive special attention.

The AAHA Meeting in a Box contains a number of useful tools for you to use at your veterinary practice, including:
 Safety Meeting Minutes template – take minutes at each of your safety meetings (you may need to assign a note taker)
 Veterinary Safety Evaluation form – evaluate the safety of your practice and create a schedule for correcting hazards, as needed
 Safety Meeting Topics – each of the safety meeting topic documents includes a discussion topic with action items for you and your team to discuss at your safety meetings.
