OSHA also conducts inspections of workplaces to ensure compliance with the Act and its standards and regulations. NIOSH and the American Society of Hospital Pharmacists (ASHP) (ASHP, 1990) redefined the term "hazardous drug" beyond directly cytotoxic drugs to include additional agents that exhibit specific characteristics in human and animal toxicity [See sec.

Hon C-Y, Teschke K, Chua P, Venners S, Nakashima L [2011]. The periodic examination may also be incorporated into an existing, broader, periodic health assessment for an organization's healthcare workers rather than function as a "stand-alone" program. The C-PEC for sterile compounding should be located in a C-SEC, which may either be an ISO Class 7 buffer room and ante-room (preferred) or an unclassified containment segregated compounding area (C-SCA). For sterile compounding, only supplies and drugs essential to compounding the dose or batch should be placed in the work area of the C-PEC (USP 800, 2016).

Connor TH, Shults M, Fraser M [2000]. Husky Superior Refinery conducted a significant community monitoring program and shared results of that monitoring with the public through the Douglas County Department of Emergency Management. Transport should occur in sealed plastic bags and in containers designed to avoid breakage (ASHP, 2006). One of the purposes of OSHA quizlet is to ensure that employees are aware of their rights and responsibilities in the workplace. Int Arch Occup Environ Health 81(3), 285-293. Trace contaminated materials used in the preparation and administration of HDs, such as gloves, gowns, syringes and vials, also present a hazard to clinical support and housekeeping staff.

Hon CY, Teschke K, Shen H, Demers PA, Venners S [2015]. Newer and more sensitive measures of HD surface contamination have been used to assess the effectiveness of technique alone. The cab of the crane was positioned 11 feet 6 inches from a 7200-volt power line. Oral solid forms of HDs should not be placed in automated counting machines, as these have been shown to produce "pill dust" in the work area, some of which is active drug (Fent, 2014). The drug may then be transferred to an IV bag or bottle.

In both cases, no safe handling precautions were used. Patient excreta that is contaminated by HDs should be handled in such a way as to protect health care workers from exposure. Extravasation of some agents can cause severe soft-tissue injury, consisting of necrosis and sloughing of exposed areas (Duvall and Baumann, 1980; Perry, 2008; Rudolph, 1979). Generally, the same effects of HDs on the target organs of treated patients may also be observed in under-protected employees. For most known HDs, type A2 cabinets offer a simple and reliable integration with the ventilation and pressurization requirements of the C-SEC. In addition, any discarded antineoplastic HDs should be managed as hazardous waste as a best practice, and as required by some states. OSHA [2013].

Spill and leakage using a drug preparing system based on double-filter technology. Baton Rouge, Louisiana, United States. Moreover, the most recent U.S. study of nurses working as recently as 2001 (that is, many years after OSHA and professional organizations published safe handling guidance, and presumably influenced safety procedures) documented statistically significant excesses of spontaneous abortion in nurses with first trimester HD exposure (Lawson, 2012).

USP <797> has specific performance criteria for the CACI (USP 797, 2012): The manufacturer of the CACI should provide documentation that the device will meet this standard when located in environments where the background particle counts exceed ISO Class 8 for 0.5-mm and larger particles. The following should be readily accessible for disposal of HD contaminated waste: a puncture resistant container for sharps, plastic HD waste disposal bags, and HD waste containers (ASHP, 2006). Reusable protective eye/face gear and respirators should be cleaned with mild detergent and water after use.

Exposure potential is related to the manipulations required to prepare and administer HDs, the type of equipment available in the specific setting, the work practices, and personal protective equipment used by the personnel. Task Force on Reproductive Toxicology. Some CSTDs have been shown to limit the potential for generating aerosols during compounding and to avoid leakage and disconnects during administration, which results in less measurable HD surface contamination in HD work areas. The NIOSH 2004 Alert on HDs and the ASHP 2006 HD Guidelines provide recommendations for similar safety programs that also include these elements (NIOSH, 2004; ASHP, 2006): Standard operating procedures (SOPs) or policy and procedures (P&Ps) that provide a comprehensive safety program to deal with all aspects of the safe handling of HDs should be in place. NIOSH requests that the following individuals and organizations bring this Alert to the attention of workers who are at risk: editors of trade journals, safety and health officials, construction companies, unions, suppliers and manufacturers of building materials, crane manufacturers, electric utilities, and others who use cranes or boomed vehicles. For the first time in its 50-year history, OSHA faces a new hazard so grave that it has killed nearly 600,000 Start Printed Page 32377 people in the United States in barely over a year, and infected millions more (CDC, May 24, 2021a). OSHA [2000]. The use of alcohol for disinfecting (deactivating microbial contamination) the C-PEC will not deactivate any HDs and alcoholic solutions may result in the spread of contamination rather than any actual cleaning (Sessink, 1992b; Dorr, 1992; ASHP, 2006; Le, 2013).

Per USP <800>, all areas where HDs are handled and all reusable equipment and devices should be deactivated, decontaminated, and cleaned (USP 800, 2016). A number of studies using surface wipe sampling to detect marker HDs on surfaces in compounding and administration work areas indicate that traditional syringe/needle and open IV set techniques may be insufficient to control HD contamination (Connor, 1999; Connor, 2010).
