Occupational Health & Safety Program

All personnel working with or around vertebrate animals at MSU are required to enroll in the Occupational Health and Safety Program (OHSP) at the website given below.  Once basic information (name, contact information, physician) is provided, the user may then choose to provide medical information for assessment by a physician.

If the user is a new employee, the Occupational Health Evaluation forms on line must be completed before acquiring animal related duties.

Additionally, it is your responsibility to update this information when one of the following occurs:

a. your MSU work assignment changes
b. your personal health status changes
c. your environmental risk conditions change
d. the species you work with changes

Failure to enroll and/or provide updates may result in suspension of your ability to work on an animal protocol or in an animal facility.

Medical and risk assessment forms are available via an online format on the IACUC website.  You can find directions for enrollment and completion of forms below. No “hard copy” paper OHSP forms will be accepted.
