Table 1.
Structure of outcome table (for details on the data, see Tables 9, 10, 11, 12, 13–14) with an example of a hazard from electrical stunning
Hazard | Welfare consequence/s occurring to the rabbits due to the hazard | Hazard origin/s | Hazard origin specification | Preventive measure/s of hazards (implementation of SOP) | Corrective measure/s of the hazards |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Poor electrical contact (see Section 3.6.1.6) |
Consciousness, pain, fear | Staff, equipment | Lack of skilled operators, staff fatigue; incorrect placement of the electrodes; poorly designed and maintained equipment; intermittent contact, thickness of fur | Staff training; staff rotation; ensure correct presentation of the rabbits, ensure correct maintenance of the equipment; ensure the equipment includes electrodes for different sized animals; ensure continuous contact between the electrodes and the rabbits | None |
Welfare indicators: (to assess the identified welfare consequences) |
