The Animals Administered a Hazardous Substance Requiring Containment Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) has recently been updated.
Updates and process changes are applicable to ANY individual who may perform procedures that involve the handling of animals and/or animal equipment contaminated with hazardous substances.
As such, every individual – including research personnel and ULAM staff – who performs these tasks as part of their job responsibilities must read the updated SOP in its entirety to assure that they are familiar with, and adhere to, the required procedures.
All personnel are expected to follow the new and revised procedures outlined in the updated SOP by Friday, May 9, 2025.
Key changes will be summarized on posters in affected animal care facilities in the coming weeks. Training classes offered by the ULAM Training Core will also be adjusted to reflect all process/procedural changes.
