Hi
I suggest they may be at risk of :
Upper Limb Disorders 10K birds per day is a lot
Respiratory symptoms - dusts off birds, poultry litter, use of fumigants,
ammonia in poultry sheds
Zoonotic diseases - animal carcasses, avian zoonoses
Tetanus
Injury from birds - although assume they have their claws and beaks trimmed
Musculoskeletal problems from manual handling - carrying crates of chicks,
etc.
Needlestick / gun injuries - is the barrel of the gun glass (lacerations if
damaged) or plastic?
Inadvertent self-administration of vaccine
Cleaning of guns with chemical preparations
Heat stress if working in warm rooms and wearing PPE.
Hope this helps,
Sue
