Clothing
suitable for use in the animal facilities, laboratories or
field are supplied and laundered by the supervisory unit (Institute,
Department, Project). If the risk assessment for the individual's
work requires additional protection, the supervisory unit also
provides disposable gloves, masks, head covers, coats, coverall,
and/or shoe covers. Protective gear for handling or working
with wildlife is also provided (i.e. leather gloves, chain
mail gloves, portable barriers, etc.) by the supervisory unit.
Personal
hygiene is a component of the animal care, lab safety and field
training programs. Included in these programs is the requirement
for personnel to wash hands and change clothing as often as
necessary to maintain personal hygiene. Outer garments worn
in animal rooms or during handling of animals in outdoor facilities
are not to be worn outside the animal facility. Personnel are
only permitted to eat, drink, use tobacco products or apply
cosmetics in designated areas.
