Facility Animal Interaction Risk Assessment

---

Organizations that manage environments where animals interact with staff, guests, or the public face significant safety and liability exposure.

The Tyler Animal Interaction Risk Assessment identifies safety vulnerabilities before incidents occur by evaluating facility design, operational practices, and interaction environments.

Assessments are conducted using the Tyler Animal Interaction Safety Standard™ (TAISS™) and the TAIRS™ Risk Measurement System.

• Event venues hosting animals or animal exhibitions

• Zoos, aquariums, and public animal attractions 

 Any environment where animals interact with staff, guests, residents, or the public can benefit from a structured animal interaction risk assessment.
 

 Clients receive:

• Written safety findings

• TAIRS™ risk classification

• Operational recommendations

• Certification eligibility evaluation

Before certification or system implementation, organizations benefit from a structured evaluation of current safety conditions.

A facility risk assessment provides a clear understanding of safety exposure and opportunities to strengthen operational controls.
