Performing husbandry for animals exposed to potential hazards presents many unique challenges to creating and maintaining a safe work environment. While this chapter focuses largely on hazards of biological origin, it also discusses hazards of a nonbiological origin that can be common in an animal research environment, or may be of new or recent interest. For the purpose of consistency, the terms
biosafety and
containment may be used when discussing these nonbiological hazards, with the understanding that they are referring to the provision of safe practices and the containment of hazards to prevent inadvertent exposure to people or the environment.
