“Assessment of Competence
Ms. Suzie CAVE
How does one prove “Competence”? The simplest way of proving “competence” is by holding an NPTC Certificate of Competence (CoC). These are independently assessed by NPTC approved assessors who have no vested interest in the outcome of the assessment, (i.e. assessors are not the candidate’s trainer, employer/manager, relation or competitor). The NPTC assessment process is verified by the Awarding Body (NPTC) to assure that the correct standards are applied as agreed to ensure a consistent standard throughout the world. NPTC is a fully recognised awarding body and is accredited by the UK Government regulators. The CoC syllabus is set by industry experts and incorporates requirements from IATA and the European Union. The database of successful candidates is kept centrally by NPTC, so that the Government or Port Authorities can check the validity of certificates presented to them. Certificate of Competence in Animal Attendants Transporting Animals by Air: The CoC is species specific (e.g.: horses, pigs, cattle, zoologicals, etc). Each candidate specifies which species they want to be assessed for at time of registering for the assessment. The CoC includes: · Welfare of the animal species · Safety & Security of people (both within and outside the aircraft) and of the aircraft / vehicles / buildings / etc · A standard operating procedure for Animal Attendants Transporting Animals by Air
Quality Assurance is
through approved Assessors and Verifiers giving the qualifications a
consistent standard wherever delivered.

“Insurance Update for Professional Flying Attendants”
Mrs. Emma STAMPER
Background · The request for insurance started with the creation of the Grooms programme back at London conference in 1999· An insurance programme was created for the grooms to purchase against Personal Accident / Temporary & Total Disability
Where we are today · From 2000 until today there has been no interest from the grooms, apart from some general enquiries · There has been some interest from transporters, but no commitments
· Seems:
· Two
cases to differentiate:
Recommendation · Insurance should be purchased by Transporters

“Using Science as a Basis
for
Dr. William WHITE,
V.M.D.,
M.S., DACLAM, DECLAM The transport of laboratory animals by both ground and air has been done successfully for decades. Containers and procedures have been developed and refined through a combination of science and experience to allow success. In an ever changing world, however, procedures and containers need to be constantly examined and, where appropriate, improved to meet the changing needs of the transport industry and the biomedical research community. This presentation will review this process and how an understanding of the physiology, behavior, and metabolism of various species of laboratory animals can be used to not only develop new procedures and containers, but also to set achievable goals for successful transportation of laboratory animals. |

Dr.
White received his V.M.D. degree from the University of Pennsylvania,
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (1970); his Master of Science degree in
laboratory animal medicine from The Pennsylvania State University,
Hershey, Pennsylvania (1972); and his Bachelor of Science degree from
The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, Pennsylvania (1966). |
