Safety Tip:

Dog attacks can often be prevented. If you have dogs on your property and external workers or visitors are expected, ensure the animals are securely separated and supervised, especially if they are unfamiliar with the individuals entering. Clear communication with visitors before they access your premises can also help prevent misunderstandings and potential incidents.
