Animal Health Technician III - Supplemental Guidelines
Effective January 1, 2001
This guideline serves to clarify allocation of positions to the Animal Health Technician III level based on non-supervisory, technical responsibility. In addition to those responsibilities outlined in the class specification, the following duties warrant the Animal Health Technician III level:
In a hospital setting, Animal Health Technicians independent of supervision, having as a significant part of their daily duties, responsibility for either:
a) inducing and monitoring anesthesia; or
b) treatment of patients with life-threatening illness or injury, whose conditions are likely to change on a moment-to-moment basis. (Such patients are receiving constant intense monitoring, reassessment and treatment.)
Note: Incumbents serving in such capacity, but under general or direct supervision, continue to remain appropriate at the AHT I or AHT II levels.
