Each year, more than 8 million U.S. health care personnel are potentially exposed to hazardous drugs (HDS). The risk is obvious and can lead to serious health issues for you and/or your staff. Considering the potential impact on health and safety, the purpose of USP <800> is to define standards for handling HDs and to help promote patient, worker and environmental protection. It outlines proper requirements, such as:

- All personnel handling or coming in contact with HDs
-     Facility and engineering controls
-     Deactivating, decontaminating and cleaning
