Cages housing animals containing radioactive materials should be labeled with an appropriate radioactive materials warning sign. The bottom of the cages should be lined with absorbent paper pads with plastic backing or other appropriate absorbent materials. A radioactive material waste disposal container should be in the area where the animals are located for use when cleaning the cages. Animal attendants should use disposable gloves when handling radioactive materials wastes from animals containing radioactive material. These should be disposed of in the radioactive materials waste disposal can.
Cages are to be cleaned and surveyed at the end of each individual experiment.
Survey records are to be maintained by the Authorized User.
