Field biologist
The field biologist plays a key role in improving the facility’s security systems as part of the deratisation, disinfection and pest control. Their tasks include:
- Site Analysis: Thorough examination of areas for pest activity, identification of potential hazards and risk assessment.
- Planning and Consulting: Developing effective pest control plans tailored to the customer’s specific needs.
- Monitoring and Reporting: Regularly checking the effectiveness of the implemented solutions and providing detailed reports.
- Collaborating with Teams: Working with other specialists, including cleaning and security departments, to ensure comprehensive protection.
- Education and Training: Conducting training for the client’s employees, raising their awareness and skills in pest prevention.
Each of these aspects requires not only specialist knowledge, but also communication and analytical skills to effectively deal with the challenges posed by diverse environments and specific customer needs.
According to BRC version 9, it is required that a food production facility employee, together with a field biologist, conduct an inspection of the facility at least once a year. During the audit, the field biologist should determine the circumstances that are favourable to pests and analyse the work of the external pest control company.
If an internal audit is necessary for the BRC system, you suspect that the pest control company is not fulfilling its duties properly or if the protection of your company against pests needs to be improved and made more effective, please contact us!
The role of the field biologist in education and awareness
Understanding the risks associated with pests and the importance of appropriate preventive measures is crucial for effective protection. Our field biologist not only deals with the direct fight against pests, but also educates customers by pointing out:
- The importance of pest control: How pests can affect health, hygiene and safety.
- Prevention Methods: Simple, everyday practices that can significantly reduce the risk of pests.
- Early Identification and Response: The importance of quickly recognising and responding to the presence of pests.
- Sustainable and Safe Control Methods: Promoting ecological and safe for humans and the environment methods of pest control.
Education in these areas helps create an aware and proactive community that works with us to maintain a clean and safe environment.
