ALT Current higher-ed policies primarily outline steps for the exclusion of student service dog handlers (SSDH) Identify barriers Outline guidelines
ALT Barriers to Laboratory Access Identify barriers: Most academic service dog (SD) policies either do not address laboratory access or focus only on guidelines for exclusion Outline guidelines: Provide student service dog handlers equal access while protecting the integrity of the lab environment with safety at the forefront
ALT Protocols for Inclusion Identify barriers: General guidelines on the admission of SDs into chemistry & microbiology labs have been developed & stipulate that an SD wear similar PPE that would be required for any student Outline guidelines: A university-wide inclusion policy could include a set of skills necessary for an incoming SD and made available to incoming SSDHs
ALT Graduate Research Identify barriers: The unknown that surrounds a service dog's function and training can create an aversion to hiring the handler Outline guidelines: Scientific problem-solving is a group effort; by integrating diverse social spectrums you get differences in perspective and life experience

ALT Summary: While the BMBL offers a framework for guiding entities in the development of policies for safe laboratory operations, it is not a regulatory document and does not address all potential scenarios, such as the presence of service animals in laboratory spaces. The sixth edition BMBL states that “Animals and plants not associated with the work being performed are not permitted in the laboratory,” reflecting a widely accepted best practice in laboratory settings. However, this provision must not be construed as superseding applicable laws regarding service animals. When entities conduct risk assessments and establish policies that accommodate service animals, such practices should comply with all applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Importantly, the BMBL lacks the authority to mandate changes to institutional practices or policies and should not be used as a basis to deny reasonable accommodations or service requests.
