Note
Proprietors and operations managers should draft their health management plan prior to consulting their veterinary practitioner. This will reduce the time and cost associated with having the plan approved by a veterinary practitioner.

4.2 Euthanasia
Euthanasia must be performed by barbiturate overdose carried out by a veterinary practitioner, except in emergency situations. Veterinary practitioners must provide the establishment with a Euthanasia Certificate once a greyhound has been euthanased.
In emergency situations, the operations manager or the staff member identified in the health management plan (if the operations manager is unavailable)
may carry out humane euthanasia but only under the direction of a veterinary practitioner.

The veterinary practitioner providing approval to carry out euthanasia in an emergency situation must include a statement in the Euthanasia Certificate that permission was given, who permission was given to, when permission was given, why permission was given, and the approved form of euthanasia.
Any method of emergency euthanasia must be humane. Blunt force trauma is not considered a humane form of euthanasia for greyhounds.
Euthanasia must be performed in an area that is separate from any greyhound housing area at the establishment and must not be carried out in view of any other greyhounds.
Euthanasia must not be performed in view of the general public.
GRV must be notified of an intention to euthanase any GRV greyhound where euthanasia is not on medical grounds, at least 14 days prior to carrying out the euthanasia by providing a Notice of Intent to Euthanase to GRV
All owners must provide the Euthanasia Certificate (as outlined above) to GRV once euthanasia has been carried out.
Puppies 8 weeks and under requiring euthanasia must be euthanased by intraperitoneal (into the body cavity) or intravenous injection overdose of barbiturate by a veterinary practitioner as per the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) Guidelines for the Euthanasia of Animals.
Note
In an emergency situation, the establishment proprietor, owner, operations manager or greyhound attendant must attempt to contact the veterinary practitioner by phone and request advice. If the veterinary practitioner is unable to provide veterinary attention within a reasonable amount of time, or provide suggestions with respect to alternative care and both the veterinary practitioner and proprietor/owner/operations manager/greyhound attendant agree that immediate euthanasia is required, the operations manager or the staff member identified in the health management plan may carry out that euthanasia in
a manner agreed to by the veterinary practitioner. A template euthanasia certificate and a template notice of intent to euthanase is available a EXTERNAL LINK
4.3 Greyhound transport vehicle
All transport vehicles or trailers used to transport greyhounds must;
be maintained at a temperature of between 10C and 32C at all times;
be constructed of materials and a design that allows for effective cleaning and disinfection; and
transport trailers must have a secure means of attaching to a vehicle so as to prevent separation during travelling.
Where one or more greyhounds are being transported, vehicles or trailers used for transport must have provision for the greyhound/s to be physically separated and restrained or individually enclosed by compartment or cage that is:
of a design that is escape-proof, prevents the protrusion of head and/or limbs of any greyhound and prevents the risk of entanglement of collars and leads;
the compartments or cages should be securely fixed to the vehicle and allow enough space for greyhounds to sit, lie down and stand in a natural position without making contact with overhead structures;
weatherproof with adequate ventilation, both when the vehicle is stationary and in motion; and
constructed of materials and a design that allows for effective cleaning and disinfection.
Other than in cases of exceptional circumstances or emergency, greyhounds must be physically separated and individually restrained during transport or transported in separate compartments or cages
Greyhounds must not be transported in the cabin of transport vehicles or in a transport trailer unless restrained or enclosed in a compartment or cage that complies with the provisions outlined above. A greyhound MUST NOT be transported in the boot of a sedan.
Greyhounds must not be left unattended in a vehicle or trailer for any extended period. During transportation, greyhounds must be inspected at least every two hours or more frequently on the advice of a veterinary practitioner, and
provided with water at each inspection. Greyhounds must not be able to distract the driver or cause injury to other greyhounds or occupants in the vehicle in the event of an accident.

Greyhounds must not be housed in a transport vehicle or at an event in a transport cage for more than 24 hours, except in exceptional circumstances where they may be housed for up to 48 hours.
All greyhounds housed in transport cages must be removed from the cage every two hours during daylight hours to exercise and toilet. All greyhounds housed
in transport cages must be exercised at least four times within a 12 hour period during daylight hours for at least 20 minutes at each exercise interval.
Confinement in a transport cage under any other circumstances must only be at the direction of a veterinary practitioner.

4.4 Visitor facilities
Visitors to the establishment must be provided with access to hot and cold water hand washing facilities with soap or hand sanitising stations.
Biosecurity policies within any establishment should be adhered to. This includes the provision of foot baths and/or boot covers for visitors entering the establishment who have been in contact with other animals.

4.5 Security
Establishments must securely confine all greyhounds within the property, preventing their escape. Establishments must also be protected from entry of unwanted animals by the construction of suitable perimeter fencing as outlined in this Code.
Kennel areas must be able to be securely locked.
Each individual kennel, cage, or pen must be fitted with a secure closing device that can only be opened by humans.
All security methods must allow for ready access to greyhounds and exit of staff and greyhounds from the establishment in the event of an emergency.
There must be a minimum of two physical barriers between greyhounds and escape. Where greyhounds are housed in kennels, the door of a greyhounds pen is considered the first barrier to escape.
All designs and materials must ensure the security of the establishment.
Greyhounds must be safe from attack, stress or injury from other greyhounds, animals or people.

So on a race day / evening, we all walk around the track in bio-security booties? Will they bring this one in for our kids at school?
