Hi guys,

 

 

I just wondering how can I convince auditor effectively on preventing the birds entering buidings.

The site is surrounded by cement wall. However some birds always stay on there for a period on time, is that already violated this clause..? I did hang some CDs and try to expel that but seems not really work. 

Any experinces/effective way you can share to me on this?

thank you very much!

 

Cheers,

David Li

Hi David, 

 

You can collated the history evidence of birds control, for example lack of NC`s from daily issues or lack of NC`s from pest control visits for birds entry. You can also put spikes on the roof, plus you can do a briefing for Warehouse to keep the shutters/ doors always closed.

Hi David,

 

Surrounding walls are not likely to be places where birds will persist. You need to take measures to prevent access and roosting if appropriate. One such measure would be to install netting in loading/unloading areas.

 

BRCGS Guidance offer this:

The site (or its pest management contractor) should use a risk assessment approach to establish whether there is any potential for the ingress of birds, or for roosting and nesting at loading or unloading areas, and to assess the measures required to mitigate the risk.

The expectation here is not necessarily to rebuild or reconfigure facilities; instead, the intention is to recognise any potential problems and take steps to remove or mitigate these risks from birds roosting and nesting.

 

Your pest contractor should be looking at this for you and making recommendations if preventative measures are needed.

 

Kind regards,

 

Tony
