Hazards Evaluation and Process Risks Reduction Assessment
A hazard evaluation should be conducted prior to working with the antineoplastic agents. Steps to reduce potential exposure and risk should be identified.
These steps including safe work practices, protective equipment and engineering controls should be incorporated into a standard operating procedure for the materials used.
Researchers should contact EHS at 335-8501 for any questions related to safe handling of antineoplastic agents in research labs.
