There are many people that work in and around animal facilities, who are not hands-on animal staff. These may be administrators, cleaners, electricians, engineers, plumbers, procurement or security personnel who are all vital to the smooth running of facilities, but do they know about the protections afforded to animals?
This four-week, self-paced, online course provides an introduction to the legislation and ethics of using animals in scientific procedures and provides valuable CPD.
This half-day workshop utilises exercises involving case studies for an interactive approach to refresh and update knowledge. It emphasises the importance of the PIL

Inductions provide essential health and safety information to new employees. However, during busy working lives, how many people remember the legislation that is designed to ensure they leave work in the same healthy state that they arrived in?
Health and safety at work protects the wellbeing of employers, employees, visitors, the public and the environment and this refresher is designed to remind everyone of key information.
This essential workshop provides the opportunity for those involved in training and assessing to gain new ideas, insights and approaches in order to maximise their impact and effectiveness in the workplace.
Controls on the use of animals in research have existed in the UK since 1876. This refresher workshop provides details of the law relating to scientific research and testing involving animals in the UK. These were revised and strengthened with the introduction
of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act (ASPA) in 1986. In 2013,
ASPA was amended to bring UK law into line with the requirements of
EU Directive 2010/63, and new
codes of practice and guidance have been introduced. UK regulations are widely regarded as some of the strictest in the world.
