Workplaces can protect employees from dog bites by implementing several strategies. Provide comprehensive training on recognizing dog body language and handling encounters safely. Equip employees with deterrents like dog whistles or pepper spray. Ensure they carry a visible, sturdy barrier, such as a clipboard or a bag, to place between themselves and an approaching dog. Encourage employees to make noise, such as knocking or ringing the doorbell, to alert homeowners before entering the property. Establish protocols for employees to report and avoid properties with known aggressive dogs, ensuring their safety during their duties.
