Insects and Wildlife

When it comes to working outdoors, there are many types of wildlife that can present hazards to workers. These insects can include ticks, mosquitos, bees, wasps, spiders, snakes, alligators, bears, deer, bison, elk, and even stray dogs. 


The dangers of encountering wildlife is increased when workers are alone in remote locations.

In the event of exposure, lone workers are often not able to receive immediate medical attention.


The first line of defense against the hazards of encountering wildlife is prevention. One of the best ways to prevent exposure is to keep wildlife away from you. This can be accomplished by:

  • Keeping your work area clean and organized.
  • Keeping your food items tightly sealed.
  • Keeping your garbage away from your work area in a separate location and bagged tightly until you can dispose of it.
  • Do not approach or feed wildlife.
  • Take precaution when moving materials.


Wildlife is abundant and it may prove difficult to avoid altogether. For this reason, you want to use these preventative measures:

  • Wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
  • Use repellants like Permethrin, DEET, or oil of citronella.
  • Avoid scented aftershave, cologne, or perfume. 
  • Wear a medical bracelet and carry an EpiPen if known allergies.


Lastly, use the company measures in place to keep you safe if you are required to work along and in remote locations. 

  • Be sure you carry a first aid kit and are trained in basic first aid.
  • Have additional supplies, food and water for emergencies.
  • Use personal safety devised to alert personnel or local EMS in the event of an emergency.


If you have questions, contact your supervisor prior to going off the worksite.
