Which statement is false regarding the Occupational Health and Safety Program?

The statement indicating that you may not decline medical treatments provided as part of the Occupational Health and Safety Program is false. It's important to note that participation in medical evaluations and treatments is typically voluntary, and individuals can choose to decline certain medical interventions based on personal decisions or health considerations. Institutions must offer programs designed to protect their employees' health and safety, particularly those working with laboratory animals, but they also must respect individual autonomy regarding participation in medical treatments.

The other statements are accurate representations of the Occupational Health and Safety Program. Enrollment in such programs before beginning work with laboratory animals helps ensure that personnel are protected and informed about potential risks. Typical services, like immunizations for rabies and tetanus, align with the health precautions necessary for working in environments with laboratory animals. Furthermore, requiring each institution to have an Occupational Health and Safety Program for personnel with significant contact with laboratory animals reflects institutional responsibilities to safeguard employee health.
