Perimeter Access Points

Return to PBA Module
Perimeter access points are gates that are actively used to access the PBA. All other gates that are not active should be locked and secured. Perimeter access points will require cleaning and disinfecting stations for foot and vehicle traffic for all entries into the perimeter buffer area. Limiting and monitoring access to the perimeter buffer area reduces the chance an infectious agent will enter to your premises. Vehicles pose a high risk because they transport products between multiple premises increasing the risk of contamination to your premises.

Enhanced Biosecurity Requirements:

  • The PBA Access Point must contain a vehicle cleaning and disinfection (C&D) station, PPE station, trash bin for PPE disposal, footwear disinfection station, hand sanitization station, and visitor log.

  • Employees and visitors must be trained on and follow procedures for entering the PBA and who has access to the PBA when enhanced biosecurity is activated.

  • PBA Access Points designated for personnel use only must have a PPE dispensary, a trash bin or trash bags for PPE disposal, a hand washing/sanitizing station, a footwear disinfection station, and visitor log.

  • All PBA Access Points that are not designated Access Points will be locked to prevent entry of vehicles and pedestrians.
