Introduction
Your farm’s enhanced biosecurity plan will include a “Personnel” section that addresses issues such as employee entry and employee sharing, handwashing, footwear disinfection stations, visitors, use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) etc.
Before writing this section of your plan, it may be useful to watch the introductory video in the Personnel Module for general background.
When writing the Personnel section of your plan you may find it useful to read examples extracted from other plans. Click on the items below to view some potential language (written as blue text in boxes) to draw from as you develop your own plan, specific for your own farm.
Example text is only a starting point and may not be appropriate for your farm or meet you state’s requirements. Also on this module’s page you will find example SOPs and log templates.
