A compliance program should be more than a binder on a shelf. It must be an ongoing process, a commitment by an organization to an ethical way of doing business with integrity, and in keeping with our values.

Coming Soon: A New & Improved Health Screen Process for Individuals Working with Research Animals
In anticipation of the Fall 2006 inspection by the Association for the Assessment and Accreditation of Laboratory Animals Care (AAALAC), the Communicable Disease Prevention Program's (CDP) Animal Exposure Surveillance Program (AESP) is being updated and streamlined.
Individuals working with animals are required to enroll in the program and complete the baseline screening questionnaire. The new questionnaire will be online the first week of September.
In order to upgrade the survey and improve the process, individuals completing the updated health survey for the first time will be required to provide some of the same health information which was previously requested in the prior version of the on-line questionnaire.
However, besides some general health questions and allergy-related questions, other questions asked will be species or health risk specific. During the protocol renewal process, individuals will be asked to update their health information only.
All health information is completely confidential and contained in a secure database. Information is reviewed only by CDP clinical personnel.
Recently the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) identified regulatory deficiencies in the UCSF Safe Shipping Program related to laboratory shipments of infectious substances as well as dry ice. Individual PIs may be subject to fines as high as $500,000 as well as jail time for non-compliance with federal shipping regulations. All labs that ship these materials must have at least one designated and trained individual.
