Clare Sims asked:
Could any "well seasoned" University based Occupational Health Nurse give
me their opinion on appropriate health surveillance for animal workers?
The HSE publication on zoonoses, which can be found at
http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/ais2.htm
has a useful list of further reading. Another list of relevant references
is in the HSE publication "Asthmagen?" which classifies laboratory animal
excreta/secreta as respiratory sensitisers (C15). This means that you also
need to take a look at "Medical Aspects of Occupational Asthma M25", also
from the HSE, which gives guidance on health surveillance.
