Occupational Health Program (OHP)
Mandated by the PHS Policy and the Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals, all UTEP research personnel, which include faculty, staff, and students working in a laboratory animal facility must enroll in the Occupational Health Program (OHP). The purpose of the UTEP’s OHP is to provide health risk assessments and ensure a safe working environment for UTEP research personnel.
