Biosecurity Map

Introduction

The Enhanced Biosecurity Map illustrates the boundaries and areas where enhanced biosecurity activities are taking place. The map should also clearly indicate access points, cleaning and disinfection stations, PPE stations needed to enter biosecure areas. Additionally, it should show activities that take place on the farm premises that are outside of biosecure areas such as deliveries and pickups. Finally, traffic flow of people, animal and vehicles should be clearly designated on the map. This visual representation of locations and activities on your premises allows regulators to be able to identify, review and make recommendations to your enhanced biosecurity plan. Additionally, this map can be used to implement on farm biosecurity practices that will be needed should your premises be located in an FAD/NAD control area.

This module will guide you through:

  • Understanding the enhanced biosecurity terminology needed to create the map
  • Understanding where and why the PBAP and LOS are designated in around areas on the premises
  • Understanding where and why C&D and PPE stations are designated at certain points on the PBAP and LOS
