UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA ANIMAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Each area which houses or utilizes live animals for the purposes of research study, academic instruction, or display shall have a written Animal Management Plan (AMP). The purpose of this written plan is to address occupational and safety concerns of the office of Environmental Health and Safety regarding the use of animals in areas other than the Animal Care Facility (ACF). In addition to this Animal Management Plan (AMP), laboratories or areas which utilize or house animals are required to comply with the Environmental Safety and Occupational Health Guidelines developed for the Animal Care Facility as well as the Chemical Hygiene Plan and Laboratory Guidelines under the Laboratory Safety and Security Program. All researchers/instructors on campus who plan to use animals should also submit a protocol for approval to the Institutional Animal Use and Care Committee (IAUCC). All University sponsored or sanctioned use of vertebrate animals requires UACUC approval.
