If an employee must bring their dog/other pets to the workplace, this must be approved by the line manager听in advance.听The manager must then make sure that this is not a nuisance for other employees.听Each unit can lay down prohibition of having pets at the workplace.
Service dogs:
Guide dogs and service dogs are of course permitted.
Therapy dogs:
The use of therapy dogs requires certification, that the dog is equipped with a harness or other service badge, and that it has been clarified with the administrative manager of the unit in question.
Have you dicovered Long-tailed silverfish at work?
Long-tailed silverfish do not pose a health hazard and the material damage is minimal. They are nevertheless considered pests because many people find them annoying. If they develop freely, they can destroy objects of high value. It is therefore problematic with Long-tailed silverfish in libraries, museums and historical collections where irreplaceable objects can be degraded and destroyed.
