Changes to PPE Requirements for Standard Nude/SCID Mouse Rooms and Rodent Containment Rooms
We understand that there may be some ongoing confusion regarding recent changes to the Animals Administered a Hazardous Substance Requiring Containment SOP and how these changes impact the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) requirements in both standard Nude/SCID mouse rooms and in rodent containment housing rooms.
In partnership with Environment, Health & Safety experts, we have assessed that these new requirements provide the appropriate levels of protection for both staff and the animals under their care.
As a general rule, you will notice the biggest changes in donning of appropriate PPE:
Changes to donning of PPE for standard housing of Nude/SCID mice ** |
Changes to donning of PPE in rodent containment rooms |
---|---|
** Please note: MSRB users are still required to wear all PPE |
|
We are confident that these most recent changes will help simplify your research processes while still maintaining a safe and secure environment for both your animals and laboratory personnel.
