4.2Identification of Animals and Handlers and Security

For patients, staff, and visitors to identify AAI teams approved to enter the health care facility, teams must be easily identifiable. The volunteer AAI handler should wear an approved identification badge on the outermost layer of clothing, readily visible on the chest. A clothing uniform for the handler (this can simply be a designated shirt), and an identifying vest or bandana for the dog are ideal in order to maintain a clear and recognized presence while in a health care facility. The badge, shirt, and vest serve to verify and brand the use of AAI teams within your health care facility (see Figures 6 and 7). Proper identification should be provided for the AAI team, both person and dog, in accordance with your facility rules.
