Institutions that receive Federal funding to conduct animal research must provide an occupational health program for those that work with animals. Workers must be enrolled in the program not on the basis of contact hours or job title, but on the basis of risk. Assessing Risks We've provided a Hazard Analysis Tool to help supervisors and safety coordinators give their workers the information they need to be safe on the job. If you're a supervisor, just supply the species your workers contact and you'll be lead to a series of information sheets about common risks. All Individuals who wish to be added to the staff roster for an Animal Care and Use Protocol must submit a Risk Assessment Form AND submit an Animal Contact Medical Review Form to Occupational Health Services. Please use the Occupational Health Services' page to submit your forms on-line. Occupational Health Services Website The Occupational Health Services website has useful information regarding how to stay healthy while working with animals.
