Hazardous drugs pose several toxicity hazards that require special handling instructions, PPE, and storage. It's important to always ensure that these drugs or contaminated materials are appropriately labeled and stored. Only trained personnel should handle these materials and address spills. It's also important that you can identify these drugs and that you know how to access information about them, follow procedures, and avoid exposure.
