The sanctuary said it is 'the largest nonprofit carnivore sanctuary in the world, with over 600 rescued animals including lions, tigers, bears, wolves, leopards and other large carnivores living. The sloth bear (Melursus ursinus) is a myrmecophagous bear species native to the Indian subcontinent.It feeds on fruits, ants and termites.It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, mainly because of habitat loss and degradation. It has also been called 'labiated bear' because of its long lower lip and palate used for sucking up insects. It has a long, shaggy fur, a mane around the face.

Anyone working in a laboratory is responsible for their own safety, as well as those working around them. Ultimately the lab director (faculty/lab manager/supervisor) is responsible for the safety of anyone entering their laboratory – faculty, staff, student, or visitor. Personal safety begins with refraining from the following activities in laboratories, animal rooms, procedure rooms, or cold rooms.

I handed out elephant coloring books to kids, and later other leaflets to adults, while others held posters noting that elephants, tigers and other animals don’t belong in circuses. The coloring books were a huge hit, but as was expected many people averted their eyes. Originally announced at I/O 2019, Google 3D animals and objects are a novel way to interact with your favorite beasts and even bring them to life in your room. Better yet, Google has added nearly.

• Eating, drinking or smoking
• Storing food and beverages
• Preparing food
• Applying cosmetics

Personal protection also extends to:

• Wearing appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) as well as appropriate clothing under the PPE – i.e. no open toed shoes and the legs and arms should be covered to prevent contamination potential.
• Using, when applicable, good engineering controls such as:
  • Restraint devices
  • Local exhaust ventilation systems
• Maintaining emergency response equipment and understanding how to use it

Personal Protective Equipment

Personnel can use the following equipment for protection from occupational safety and health risks:

• PPE
• Respiratory protection
• Hearing protection

The following personnel are responsible for providing training on the use of PPE to persons under their supervision:

• Supervisors for the animal housing
• Lab Director in the research areas

EHS is available to assist in the proper selection of PPE for the hazard being managed.

The following PPE is used to protect personnel from injury to their eyes, face, head, feet, and hands when working with animals. The department is responsible for supplying the PPE. CAUTION: Before putting on PPE, cover open cuts or abrasions on the body with appropriate dressing.

PPE	CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Laboratory coat Uniform Surgical gown	Departments make arrangements for PPE to be professionally laundered. NOTE: The PPE is not to be taken home. Protective garments should be left in the laboratory when work is completed or, if working with radioactive material, until monitored and found free of radioactive contamination.
Disposable gowns Coveralls Gloves Shoe covers Head covers Face masks	Dispose of these items prior to exiting the room.
Eye protection NOTE: For information about prescription safety glasses contact EHS at (734) 647-1143	Clean after each use.

More Information

For more information about the level of PPE required based on the level of risk for each animal, go to the Animal Handler PPE chart.

Respiratory protection is used to protect personnel from airborne hazards – in particular animal allergens are the most prevalent risk for animal handlers; however, respirators may be required based upon particular chemical or biological materials being handled. Personnel may have a mandatory requirement to wear a respirator as determined by:

• OHS clinicians
• Job responsibilities
• Species exposure
• Personal medical condition

Mandatory respirator users require medical clearance by the U-M Occupational Health Clinic and a fit test to determine proper equipment and sizing, done by EHS. NOTE: A surgical mask is not considered a respirator, and does not require entry into the EHS respiratory protection program. It is an individual decision as to whether or not you want to wear a surgical mask.

The following restraint devices provide additional safety when working with animals:

IF YOU ARE WORKING WITH…	USE THE FOLLOWING RESTRAINT…
Primates	Squeeze cages Nets Heavy leather gloves Kevlar sleeves
Rodents	Plastic restraint tubes Shields
Cats	Canvas restraint bags
Rabbits	Plexiglass restraint box Metal restraint box
Dogs	Muzzles

More Information

For training about proper handling and restraint techniques with animals, contact the ULAM animal staff at (734) 764-0277.

Personnel must use a local exhaust ventilation system (ventilation system) when administering hazardous materials including:

• Volatile anesthetic gases for animal research
• Husbandry activities

The types of ventilation system used in animal research include:

• Biological safety cabinets
• Scavenging devices
• Fume hoods
• Snorkel hoods

Roles and Responsibilities

The ventilation system is certified for a specific purpose – use of hazardous materials or biological substances – or for general non-hazardous conditions such as general exhaust of heat or steam. Because of the rigid standards for certification, not all systems can be used for hazardous material operations. The following departments work together to ensure ventilation systems are working properly.

Department	Responsibility	Contact Information
Facilities Service Center	Maintains HVAC systems	(734) 647-2059
EHS	Manages equipment failure and repairs Certifies ventilation systems	(734) 647-1143

More Information

• For more information about certifying ventilation systems, go to EHS Standard of Care for Ventilation Engineering Systems.
• For information describing the differences between ventilation systems, refer to EHS Ventilation – What’s the Difference.

All emergency eyewash and showers are inspected by the Facilities Maintenance on an annual basis. The inspection criteria are based on manufacturer’s recommendations and American National Standards Institute guidelines. The paper inspection tags attached to the equipment are initialed and dated following each inspection. If you notice at any time the equipment is in need of repair, submit a work order to Facilities & Operations Work Control Department by calling the Facilities Service Center at (734) 647-2059 for correction.

Eyewashes must be flushed monthly as detailed below:

RESPONSIBLE PARTY	EYEWASHES TO FLUSH
Laboratory staff	Plumbed eyewashes located in laboratory areas NOTE: Report malfunctions to the Facilities Service Center at (734) 647-2059
Animal Husbandry	Plumbed eyewashes located in animal facility areas NOTE: Report malfunctions to the Facilities Service Center at (734) 647-2059
Facilities Maintenance	Eyewash units located in common areas such as corridors
