The supervising
units provide personal protective equipment (lab coats, coveralls,
scrub suits, boots, shoes, shoe covers, gloves, etc) to all
personnel and ensure their proper cleaning, laundering, and
disposal. When required, personnel shower and change garb when
leaving certain areas. Protective clothing is not worn outside
the boundaries of any hazardous-agent work area or the animal
facility. Personnel working in high-noise areas are provided
ear protection.
In addition
to standard requirements for the Institution's animal facilities,
the UAF Chemical Safety, Radiation Safety and Biosafety Committees
specify protective gear (including but not limited to gloves,
arm protectors, goggles, face shields, and masks), cleanliness,
and containment (including proper disposal) requirements for
each individual project involving specific hazardous substances.
Personnel
working in areas where they may be exposed to contaminated
airborne particulate material or vapors are provided with suitable
respiratory protection and are trained and evaluated for its
use.
The University
of Alaska Fairbanks is not engaged in work involving non-human
primates.
