ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of life science, laboratory animals play an important role in many fields, such as biomedicine. In recent years, the national reforms “to delegate power, streamline administration and optimize government services” continues deepen, the laboratory animals administrative departments have paid more attention to interim and post-event supervision, in which the safety management of laboratory animals is the key and challenging point in the supervision process. In this paper, the information regarding licenses for laboratory animals in Jiangsu, facility areas, animal production and usage, employees, and other information the past three years were introduced. Combined with legal administrative management in recent years, the potential safety risks in the production and use of laboratory animals were analyzed, such as risks in management systems, employees, facility operation, animal quality control, accidental injury and zoonosis, animal transportation, and waste disposal. Additionally, the current construction, daily management services, and the list of interim and post-event supervision of the laboratory animal safety management system were introduced. Based on this discussion, we proposed relevant safety management countermeasures and suggestions and provided support for further improvements to laboratory animal safety management.
