Brian, I'm not being funny but you should be doing you own risk assessments, otherwise how do you know if it is right for you. However there is lots of help for you here. http://www.hse.gov.uk/ag...ture/topics/zoonoses.htm

I agree, too many people on this forum just ask for a generic risk assessment rather than looking at the specifics of what their workplace requires. There are lots of questions that need answering by you such as what sort of animals you are looking at, cuddly pets or farm animals or imported species. Location is also a factor, so are you based in the UK or South America etc. You need to do the research, if you want to get it right.

Hi This link is to advice on risk assessments to do with veterinary medicines, not on zoonoses. This would be a separate assessment. My advice would be to contact the RCVS and find out what resources they have and what level of assessment they require to meet their standards, also make sure you cover off all aspects of COSHH Regs. Is it just zoonoses you need - do you have all the other assessments done? Ian
