Cytotoxic drugs are therapeutic agents intended for, but not limited to, the treatment of cancer. They are highly toxic to cells, mainly through their action on cell reproduction.
Employees must be educated on safe handling and exposure of cytotoxic agents within their first three months of employment.
Access to cytotoxic agent storage areas, cytotoxic waste removal, and any handling of cytotoxic agents must be limited to authorized personnel only. Store these agents separately from other drugs kept onsite, and label these agents appropriately. If you feel there is a potential risk in handling of any substance in the office, contact your supervisor immediately, who will assist in a risk assessment.
Do not handle any unauthorized or unknown substances without confirming with a supervisor.
