长期以来，人们一直认为食用动物生产所涉及的职业对工人的健康具有重大风险，特别是伤害。然而，在这些职业中的病原体暴露的风险一直没有得到广泛的考虑。病原体是一个食品安全问题，已知存在于整个食用动物生产链中。在农场和屠宰场工作的工人面临着病原体暴露和细菌感染的风险。畜牧业的工业化和在动物饲料中使用抗菌剂以促进生长，增加了抗菌剂耐药性的发展。这些病原体性质的改变使该行业的工人暴露于新菌株，从而改变了这些工人的风险和健康后果。这些风险尚未得到世界上任何与工作有关的健康和安全机构的承认。
The occupations involved in food animal production have long been recognized to carry significant health risks for workers, with special attention to injuries. However, risk of pathogen exposure in these occupations has been less extensively considered. Pathogens are a food safety issue and are known to be present throughout the food animal production chain. Workers employed at farms and slaughterhouses are at risk of pathogen exposure and bacterial infections. The industrialization of animal farming and the use of antimicrobials in animal feed to promote growth have increased the development of antimicrobial resistance. The changed nature of these pathogens exposes workers in this industry to new strains, thus modifying the risks and health consequences for these workers. These risks are not yet recognized by any work-related health and safety agency in the world.
