The goal of Safety Partners' animal care and use services is to actively support the regulatory and managerial aspects of running an animal facility, which enables the animal facility staff to operate much more efficiently and productively. Our animal care and use programs focus on two key areas: providing humane animal care according to regulatory guidelines and ensuring worker safety in the animal facility.

Within this two-tier approach, we develop animal care and use programs, manage the regulatory requirements of the facility, and assist in the coordination and hiring of staff. We can also implement animal care and use systems and handle some of the daily and weekly tasks. Our program design accommodates all managerial aspects of facility maintenance and is customized for each facility's needs. Above all, Safety Partners is interested in employee health and safety, which is integrated into all aspects of the animal care and use program.

Our staff provides guidance to scientists in technical procedures and advises clients on animal models and animal-based experiments. We also have internal resources for expert biosafety risk assessment for BL2, BL2+, and BL3 animal work, as well as ergonomics, radiation safety, and industrial hygiene. When clients require Community Representatives to sit on their in-house Institutional Animal Care and Use Committees (IACUC), Safety Partners handles all facets of recruiting and briefing qualified volunteers. Safety Partners can also fill the role of a technical level animal care facility employee as needed.
