ABSTRACT
At GEU, an animal care technician was bitten by a rat while performing routine cage change operations. The bite was severe and required medical attention. The technician was concerned that reporting this bite could result in counseling or retraining. He chose not to report the incident, but rather to remove his gloves, wash his hands, apply a bandage, don new gloves, and continue conducting his duties. What concerns do you have about this scenario?
