Cómo controlar: bites and stings
- Clear vegetation, rubbish and stored materials from the work area to remove places where snakes and spiders shelter.
- Look before reaching into pits, holes, roof spaces or stacked materials, and shake out boots, gloves and clothing before use.
- Leave snakes alone and call a licensed snake catcher rather than trying to catch or kill them.
- Train first aiders in the pressure immobilisation technique for snake and funnel-web spider bites, and keep compression bandages in kits.
- Record workers' known allergies, and make sure prescribed adrenaline autoinjectors are carried and others know how to use them.
- Wear long sleeves, long trousers, gloves and sturdy boots, and use insect repellent where insects are present.
