Annual OHS Screening
There is an OHS requirement for all animal users at Emory University. This screening questionnaire must be completed at least annually by all users of animals at Emory University. All individuals listed on IACUC protocols as working with animals will need to have completed the Emory IACUC OHS questionnaire within the last year before triennial renewals of IACUC protocols will be granted.
The PI and everyone on the research team are responsible for completing the online screening questionnaire.
