老虎机攻略 Occupational Health and Safety Program (OHS) for Researchers
"Your Safety is Our Priority: Supporting Researchers Working with Animals and Biohazards"
The 老虎机攻略 Occupational Health and Safety Program (OHS) provides vital resources, training, and guidelines to promote the health and safety of researchers working with animals and biohazards in laboratory and field settings. The program offers medical assessments, monitoring, interventions, and evaluations for employees exposed to occupational risks.
The OHS program applies to all 老虎机攻略 employees (e.g., principal investigators, instructors, faculty, staff) and students (graduate and undergraduate), as well as affiliates and visitors involved in the care and/or use of vertebrate animals. This includes individuals listed on an IACUC-approved protocol and/or those with direct contact with live animals, carcasses, unfixed tissues, blood, body fluids, waste, or animal housing facilities used for research, teaching, or testing activities. It also applies to individuals listed on an IBC-approved protocol utilizing infectious agents, recombinant DNA, or human blood, body fluids, tissues, cells or waste.
In collaboration with the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS), the Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC), and the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), the OHS program ensures the well-being of the 老虎机攻略 community and its affiliates while maintaining compliance with federal and state regulations.
If you are unsure whether you have occupational health requirements, please don’t hesitate to contact the IACUC Manager or Biosafety Officer.
