Occupational Health

This section provides guidance on the TAMU Occupational Health Program, including animal exposure issues and bloodborne pathogens exposure control. Registration and referral to Scott & White Occupational Health are also discussed.

The Occupational Health Program is provided for all individuals who work in animal facilities or have contact with animals or animal tissue, at no charge to participants.
Services include medical evaluations, Tuberculosis screenings, Rabies vaccinations and regular titers, Tetanus-Diphtheria vaccinations, medical examinations and treatment, risk assessment and training, educational materials, personal protective equipment, and other appropriate provisions as needed.
The program is jointly administered by the Comparative Medicine Program and the Environmental Health & Safety Department (EHSD). The primary care provider will be Scott & White Clinic through the Department of Occupational Health and Environmental Medicine, and primary contact with Scott & White Clinic will be through EHSD.
All individuals potentially exposed to animals must be enrolled in the Occupational Health Program and complete the Texas A&M University Occupational Health Program Enrollment Form found below. Completed forms should be returned to EHSD at MS 4472, or by fax at (979) 845-1348.
