LIST OF HAZARDOUS DRUGS
Christina Kim
- ENTITY MUST CREATE AND MAINTAIN A LIST OF HDs
- A list of HDs is maintained by The National Institute for
Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)
- Group 1: Antineoplastic Drugs which may pose a reproductive
risk for susceptible populations
- Group 2: Non-antineoplastic drugs that meet one or more of
the NIOSH criteria for a hazardous drug and may also pose a reproductive risk for susceptible populations
- Group 3: Drugs that pose a reproductive risk to both men and
women who are actively trying to conceive and women who are breast feeding
- NIOSH 2016 List plus a proposed addition list for 2018
- Practice-specific assessment of HDs which is evaluated yearly or
whenever a new agent is added to the formulary
- Perform an assessment of risk of the drugs on your list to
determine how to handle HDs

LIST OF HAZARDOUS DRUGS
Christina Kim
- IT IS ADVISEABLE TO PERFORM AN ASSESSMENT OF RISK
(AOR) OF ALL DRUGS ON YOUR HAZARDOUS DRUG LIST
- Why? Provides for alternative containment strategies and
work practices.
- HDs on the NIOSH List that must follow containment
requirements of USP <800> regardless of AOR include
- Any HD API
- Any antineoplastic requiring manipulation
- Alternative containment strategies and work practices are
allowed for drugs on the NIOSH list if an AOR is completed
- Final dosage forms of compounded HD preparations
- Conventionally manufactured HD products that do
not require any further manipulation
10
ASSESSMENT OF RISK
Christina Kim
- TOPICS TO INCLUDE IN THE AOR:
- 1. Type of HD
- 2. Dosage form (Every form of every drug on the NIOSH list)
- 3. Risk of exposure
- 4. Packaging
- 5. Manipulation
- 6. Administration (PPE)
- EXAMPLES
- 1. Final dosage form of compounded antineoplastics (An
AOR may reveal the need for less restrictive storage requirements)
- 2. Finasteride (crushing tablets on the floor) (An AOR may
reveal the need for more restrictive requirements.)

Injectable Requires drawing from ampule or vial? Yes: Storage: Standard Hood: C-PEC Pharmacy garb: Full PPE Hand delivery non-chemo Nursing Garb: Chemo gloves No, in final dosage form: Storage: Pyxis Hood: N/A Pharmacy garb: N/A Delivery: OK to tube Nursing Garb: Chemo gloves Solution, Topical Requires manipulation such as mixing? Yes: Storage: Standard Hood: C-PEC Pharmacy garb: Full PPE Hand Delivery non-chemo Nursing Garb: Chemo gloves If not, then it's in its final dosage form Storage: Pyxis Hood: N/A Pharmacy garb: N/A Delivery: OK to tube Nursing garb: Chemo gloves Tablet, Capsule Requires manipulation sucRequires manipulation such as crushing or splitting tablets or opening capsules? Yes: Storage: Standard Hood: C-PEC Pharmacy garb: Full PPE Hand Delivery non-chemo Nursing Garb: Chemo gloves If not, then it's in its final dosage form Storage: Pyxis Hood: N/A Pharmacy garb: N/A Delivery: OK to tube Nursing garb: Chemo gloves
- Present it to your group and discuss
- Pick what factors are important and come
up with a consistent set of rules
- You could try to evaluate each drug and
each form one-by-one
- After you include all of the forms of each
drug you are looking at a list 300 lines long!
- That’s too much for a group discussion
- Dividing and conquering list-by-list can
lead to inconsistency
