> I work at a wildlife research facility for the USDA. I've posted
> intermittently over the years and this question is directed for those that
> deal with animal research. The question is: what is the retention period
> for animal care records?
>
> I checked the Animal Welfare Act and couldn't seem to find anything. Same
> with the GRS. We have a Safety and Health Officer here who stated "The
> Animal Welfare Regulations states that all records and reports shall be
> maintained for at least three years." Being the good records manager I
> try to be, I think, "at least three years?" What kind of retention is
> that? The Safety Officer recommends our staff keep the records for three
> years after the death of the animal or when the animal leaves the
> facility. He mainly means general maintenance and care of the animals. If
> the records are part of a study, and contain substantive data, they may be
> kept permanently with the study, particularly if the research is Good
> Laboratory Practices (GLP) standards.
>
> What I'd like is a more firm retention period, particularly for general
> maintenance, and the citation for it.
>
> Many thanks!
