IACUC Policy I
Personal Protective Clothing for Work with Agricultural & Wildlife Animals

All University personnel having contact with livestock or wildlife, or their soiled bedding, are required to wear appropriate personal protective clothing (PPC). For any given animal facility, outer garments (clothes and footwear) that are worn while handling animals or cleaning their environment must not be worn away from that facility unless it has been suitably cleaned and sanitized. For field studies, clean PPC should be worn that is appropriate to accomplish the desired activity in the given environmental conditions and to minimize potential health risks.
