In my experience, health safety costs are covered by institutions
centrally.  They are indirect costs of doing business that are often
attributable to multiple departments and projects.  The particular unit
responsible should either be employee health or research, depending upon
where funds are available.

 Subject: [RESADM-L] Medical Expenses for Lab Personnel

 We are reviewing the recovery of health safety costs for personnel
 involved in animal research.  In most cases these costs (such as
 immunizations for rabies, tetanus, hepatitis, etc.) are not covered
 by the individuals' medical insurance, and thus must be recovered
 directly from the grants they support or the departments where they
 work.  This can complicate the preparation of proposal budgets and
 the allocation of the costs.  (None of the labs are recharge centers
 under OMB Circular A-21.)

 I would appreciate it very much if any of the Listserv members can
 guide me to institutional policies that address this issue.  Thanks!
