The LAF has a number of forms to cover common circumstances in a lab animal environment. They include everything from animal care and movement to administrative services.
All secondary chemical containers of hazardous materials, including wash bottles, stock solutions, carboys, etc., must now have GHS labels attached in order to be considered in compliance with OSHA regulations.
This form must be used when requesting drugs or other veterinary supplies from the LAF. Controlled drug requests must be signed by the PI or department head.
When experimental conditions are expected to lead to acute changes in an animal’s health a chart similar to this template should be developed to track such changes. This form should specify an action plan when severe conditions are noted.
This log is to be used and posted in the Animal Holding Room whenever PI Staff feeds or waters their own animals. This includes occasions when food or water are restricted or deprived as well as times when special diets or water are offered.
