Personal Protective Equipment Requirements
10/01/08--The Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) and the University Office of Occupational Health and Safety have established requirements for personal protective equipment (PPE) to ensure that proper safeguards are in place for human and animal health. These requirements were established by a group of experts in occupational health and safety, animal care and use, and regulatory requirements. The requirements are effective immediately.
Principal Investigators are responsible for ensuring that all personnel working with animals are fully informed of the requirements and have the necessary equipment. These requirements apply to all persons who care for or use research animals at the Academic Health Center, College of Liberal Arts, and Hormel institute.
