Regulatory
Compliance
A DCM service for
regulatory compliance aims to help animal laboratories meet the requirements
of the Animal
Studies Committee Guidelines, the Federal Animal Welfare
Act, and the NRC Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals.
Compliance with both the
law and the "Guide" are mandatory at Washington University.
Regulatory inspections are conducted by the United States Department of
Agriculture (USDA) and by the Association for Assessment and Accreditation of
Laboratory Animal Care (AAALAC).
As representatives of the
Animal Studies
Committee, Gary Barron, B.A., LATg,
and Gail Moore, B.S., R.V.T., LATg, S.R.S.,
visit laboratories where animal procedures are performed. They provide
assistance towards compliance with the federal animal welfare laws and
standards.
