Avian influenza protective equipment
Avian influenza is a contagious viral disease that affects birds and poultry and can also be transmitted to humans. The protective equipment from Franz Mensch offers you optimum protection against avian flu - for carefree working.
How is avian influenza transmitted?
Avian influenza is transmitted in the same way as other influenza viruses. As a rule, it is spread by droplet infection as soon as infected droplets enter the inhaled air. The viruses attach themselves to the cells of the respiratory tract. Since faecal particles can be deposited on work clothing, there is an increased risk of infection in animals.
The following facilities and workplaces are particularly at risk:
- Agriculture
- Veterinary Medicine
- Healthcare
- Transport companies
- Feed production
- Disposal company
How to protect yourself from avian influenza
People who are in regular contact with animals must place special emphasis on adequate protection. This is especially true for those who work in poultry farming, meat processing or veterinary medicine. In order to minimise the high risk of infection, wearing the right protective clothing is of utmost importance in addition to strict hygiene measures.
That is why Franz Mensch and the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health recommend, among other things, the following protective equipment:
- Coveralls: type 4, 5 or 6 (if necessary liquid-tight type 3)
- Disposable caps & hair nets: for complete coverage of the hair
- Respirators: particle-filtering, protection class FFP3, ideally with exhalation valve
- Eye protection: against dust and liquid splashes
- Rubber boots: liquid-tight and disinfectable
- Protection gloves: with long cuffs, liquid-tight and tear-resistant

Chemical protection gloves Professional | nitrile
Chemical protection gloves Professional made of nitrile by Hygostar
The nitrile glove Professional is a full chemical protection glove that offers its wearer a particularly high level of protection against biological dangers and chemicals. A cotton flocking on the inside of the glove ensures that it is quicker and easier to slip on, making it easier to put on. However, the protective glove not only impresses with its high wearing comfort, but its textured surface also provides a secure grip and a good sense of touch. Thanks to the extended cuff, the nitrile protective glove provides additional protection against liquid splashes, for example. Due to its durable property, it is suitable for medium risks in mechanical and industrial work and is therefore the ideal protective glove to be used in industry, the pharmaceutical industry, the food industry or in the laboratory.
Our tip: Make sure you also have soft cotton gloves to wear underneath. They reduce sweating and offer even more wearing comfort.

Protection against avian influenza requires a combination of different measures to minimise the spread of the virus.
1. Hygiene measures
Avoid contact with sick birds or birds that have died suddenly. In addition, clean and disinfect your hands, clothing and equipment thoroughly after any contact with poultry or their environment.
2. Food hygiene
Ensure that poultry products are cooked thoroughly and avoid contact between raw poultry products and other foods to prevent cross-contamination.
3. Reporting suspicious cases
If you notice signs of sick birds or if unusual cases of disease occur in your poultry holding, report this immediately to the local health authority or the veterinary authority.
