Animal Studies


The Environmental Health & Safety office works in conjunction with the Department of Comparative Medicine to review animal studies involving hazardous material. The review process ensures that animal studies are conducted in compliance with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), National Institutes of Health (NIH), Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and other compliance agency regulations. EH&S reviews the following hazardous materials used in animal studies protocols:

  • Infectious Material
  • Human tissues or cell lines
  • Recombinant DNA
  • Carcinogenic, acutely toxic, or otherwise potentially hazardous materials (generally a health rating of 3 or higher on the MSDS)
For information about protocol approvals, contact EH&S at 747-0309.
