Walk the facility checking each area. Pay special attention to barriers on dangerous animal enclosures. Report any deficiency immediately.
A monthly safety inspection checklist for AZA-accredited zoos and wildlife parks, aligned with AZA accreditation standards and OSHA requirements. Covers enclosure barrier integrity, public pathway safety, keeper work areas, emergency response equipment, escape prevention systems, and visitor signage.
Zoos balance animal welfare, staff safety, and public access. A compromised barrier or a broken lock on a dangerous animal enclosure is a life-safety issue that can result in AZA probation or USDA enforcement. This checklist systematically verifies every containment layer.
