Avian Biosecurity Policy This applies to all temporary workers.

It is the responsibility of all Boehringer Ingelheim employees to take necessary steps to avoid contact with the avian species in general. This includes, but is not limited to, commercial poultry, yard chickens, turkeys, ducks, geese, wild birds and pet birds.

Should contact occur, precautions must be taken prior to entering a critical building or location:

Anyone coming into contact with the avian species should not enter into a critical building or location for 72 hours unless they have showered, changed clothes and shoes.

This is a Specific Pathogen-Free (SPF) farm. Bio-security is higher than any other entity at Boehringer Ingelheim in that the birds have no antibiotics or vaccinations to protect them. Contact with avian species is absolutely forbidden, showers onto the property and house are absolutely necessary. Any incidental contact with an avian species requires a 72 hour lapse from the time contact occurred and entry onto the farm. Formaldehyde is a dangerous substance and can cause cancer, so following safety practices to avoid contact with it is critical. Review the SOP s for Health, Safely, Environmental practices
