A consequence of Error/Judgement

Inappropriate care and treatment of animals would result in loss of net income due to reduced production, possible loss of expensive research animals, and endanger other animals or people handling animals. In each case, research projects and the reputation of the Centre would be compromised.

Inadequate maintenance or incorrect use of equipment or failure to repair equipment could compromise staff, student and animal safety as well as the integrity of the research programs. In addition, such failures of good practice will reduce net income.
