Handling and restraint for euthanasia

PIL AB Article
When killing individual animals in a group, or when using a method that requires handling and restraint, it is important that this is done in a careful and competent way.

Module K or PIL AB?

This collection of articles provides information on the humane killing of laboratory animals, and is undertaken as part of the Core modular training of new research staff (PIL AB in the UK). You will also be given practical training in appropriate methods for individual species within your own Institution.

If you have been told that you only require Module K, which is a module for people who will carry out euthanasia of animals, but will not undertake any regulated procedures (ie, you have been informed that you will not require a Personal licence), then follow this link to Module K.
