University of North Texas 
Annual OHS Enrollment
The IACUC is tasked with ensuring that those working with animals at UNT participate in the University of North Texas Occupational Health and Safety Program, which provides access to educational resources and occupational health services to personnel at risk of exposure to animals (or their tissues, body fluids, or wastes) and/or other infectious biohazards.
Participation in the UNT Occupational Health and Safety Program requires the annual submission of a Medical Health Questionnaire, including the date of last Tetanus immunization, for review by a medical professional. Tetanus immunization within the last 10 years is a requirement for those participating in animal research at UNT.
