Similarly, staff must shower before entering the farm, change their home clothes for work clothes and repeat the procedure when leaving the Poultry Production Unit (UPA). The entry of people outside the UPA must be avoided and its facilities must be scrupulously reviewed, so that there are no spaces through which wild birds can enter.
