I don't think CoSHH covers animal excretions. Standard rules apply: don't eat it, don't tread in it, wash hands after handling.

Equally flippant reply - and SDS (lets get modern) would have to be written by the cat / dog as they are the supplier :)

Hi - another source may be garden maintenance for this - heard of ride-on gang mower (with the flails/cutters in front) of the operators being exposed during the cutting operations to flying 'debris'. Could check out the rural industries area as well - must be something for foxes ?
