Disclosure
The speakers have nothing to disclose and report no financial relationships relevant to
this activity.
Learning Objectives
Learners will be able to explain relevant sections of USP Chapter 800, NIOSH, and CA BOP regulations related to hazardous drugs.
Learners will compare the differences between USP 800 standards and CA BOP regulations in relation to HDs.
Learners will be able to describe an organizational strategy for the handling, storage and disposal of hazardous drugs.
USP - The U.S. Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) is a scientific nonprofit organization that sets standards for the identity, strength, quality, and purity of medicines, food ingredients, and dietary supplements manufactured, distributed and consumed worldwide
USP 800 is a federal standard that can be adopted as a state or federal regulation.
Definitions
OSHA – Occupational Safety and Health Administration ◦ Mission: To assure safe and healthful working conditions for working men and women by setting and enforcing standards and by providing training, outreach, education and assistance.
NIOSH – The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health◦ Mission: To develop new knowledge in the field of occupational safety and health and to transfer that knowledge into practice.
◦ A department of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)

NIOSH* Definition of Hazardous Drug
Drugs considered hazardous if exhibit one or more of the following 6 characteristics in humans or animals:
1.Carcinogenicity
2.Teratogenicity or other developmental toxicity
3.Reproductive toxicity
4.Organ toxicity at low doses
5.Genotoxicity
6.Structure and toxicity profiles of new drugs that mimic existing drugs determine hazardous by the above criteria.

Live Biological AgentsBacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) is listed as a NIOSH Table 1 antineoplastic HD.◦ New agent: talimogene laherparepvec
NIOSH◦ Parenteral drugs should not be prepared where BCG has been
prepared.
◦ If preparation cannot be done in a containment device, respiratory protection, gloves and gown should be worn
USP <800> requires compounding in the Primary Engineering Control (C-PEC) located in either a negative pressure room or Segregated Compounding Area (C-SCA)
Facilities can address with more rigorous cleaning standards
Monoclonal Antibodies (mAbs)
Decisions Facility Specific◦ What does your facility currently do?
◦ Will there be confusion for staff if they are classified in different classes?◦ Consider labeling, Closed system safety devices (CSTDs), RN
administration
◦ Possible solutions◦ Non-antineoplastic HD
◦ Pharmacy special handling/RN different handling
◦ Monoclonal antibodies conjugated to antineoplastic HD are NISOH Group 1 antineoplastic◦ ado-trastuzumab emtansine
