ensure that individuals who use or provide care for animals are trained and qualified in the appropriate species-specific housing methods, husbandry procedures, and handling techniques;
ensure that research staff members performing experimental manipulation, including anesthesia and surgery, are qualified through training or experience to accomplish such procedures humanely and in a scientifically acceptable fashion;
provide training or instruction in research and testing methods that minimize the number of animals required to obtain valid results and minimize animal distress;
ensure that professional staff whose work involves hazardous biological, chemical, or physical agents have training or experience to assess potential dangers and select and oversee the implementation of appropriate safeguards; and
ensure compliance with any initial and continuing education regarding State requirements for the licensing of veterinary or animal health technicians.
