Animal research, cage changing and bedding disposal procedures are now simpler, safer and more productive with the Esco range of VIVA® Animal Containment Workstations.
With the introduction of the VIVA® range, Esco applies decades of experience in clean air technologies to the animal research laboratory, protecting personnel and the laboratory environment from:
- Hazards related to the equipment, materials and practices used in performing routine animal husbandry
- Hazards relating directly or indirectly to animal contact
- Hazards related to the technique or materials or biohazardous substances that may be used during the course of animal research
According to the US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) , animal handlers should ensure measures are taken to protect themselves from exposure to animals and animal products which can cause occupational hazards such as asthma and allergies ( NIOSH 1998 ) .
When used in compliance with established operating procedures, Esco VIVA® Animal Containment Workstations enable compliance with NIOSH recommendations thereby creating a safer, more productive and healthier work environment for you and your animals!
