The field of occupational health and safety constantly changes,
especially as it pertains to biomedical research. New infectious
hazards are of particular importance at nonhuman-primate
facilities. For example, the discovery that B virus can be
transmitted via a splash on a mucous membrane raises new concerns
that must be addressed, as does the discovery of the Reston strain
of Ebola virus in import quarantine facilities in the U.S. The risk
of such infectious hazards is best managed through a flexible and
comprehensive Occupational Health and Safety Program (OHSP) that
can identify and mitigate potential hazards. Occupational Health
and Safety in the Care and Use of Nonhuman Primates is intended as
a reference for vivarium managers, veterinarians, researchers,
safety professionals, and others who are involved in developing or
implementing an OHSP that deals with nonhuman primates. The book
lists the important features of an OHSP and provides the tools
necessary for informed decision-making in developing an optimal
program that meets all particular institutional needs. Table of
