**NOTE: Individual cages must be identified with the hazardous agent, date of administration and appropriate hazard label.
1. My staff and I will comply with all standards for animal care and investigation established in the Guide for the Care and Use of
Laboratory Animals and the Federal Animal Welfare Act, and will follow all policies established by the University to assure that these
standards are met.
2. I assume responsibility for the work described here.
3. All individuals working with the animals on this protocol are qualified by virtue of training or experience to perform proper handling,
experimental, and restraint techniques required for the species to be used.
4. I recognize my responsibility to identify occupational health hazards related to this protocol including identifying hazards, providing
the necessary training for those involved, and supplying the appropriate protective clothing and equipment to minimize the risks.
5. This research does not represent unnecessary duplication of previous experiments.
6. I realize that failure to adhere to policies related to animal care and use may result in suspension or revocation of permission to
perform animal research in Wayne State University facilities.
7. For more information please read the safety standard operation procedures (SOPs). The PI and OEHS will maintain a copy of the SOPs.
