Guidelines for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) When Handling Flying Foxes

DESCRIPTION

This document outlines recommended practices for using Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) when interacting with flying foxes. It categorizes different levels of exposure (high and low) based on potential contact with bat urine, feces, and saliva. Depending on the circumstances (i.e., distance from roosts and presence of bats), various PPE sets (A, B, C) are advised. This guidance aims to minimize the risk of disease transmission while working safely around these animals. For detailed risk assessments, refer to the SEABCRU resource.
