The book offers specific recommendations for controlling risk through administrative procedures, facility design, engineering controls, and periodic evaluations.

This handbook will be invaluable to administrators, researchers, and employees in any animal research facility. It will also be of interest to personnel in zoos, animal shelters, and veterinary facilities.
