Australia’s postal service is now equipping its delivery workers with citronella spray following a significant increase in dog attacks. The non-toxic, water-based spray is intended as a deterrent. National data reveals an average of nine dog attacks on postal workers occur daily. Over the past six months, more than 1,200 incidents have been reported across the country. Authorities hope the new measure will improve worker safety and reduce injuries. The initiative addresses growing concerns about the risks faced by postal staff during their routes.
