Hi,
Here's a book that you may find helpful. The URL is the Stanford
Library catalog record which includes the table of contents.
Murff, Samuel J. Safety and Health Handbook for Cytotoxic Drugs.
Lanham, Md.: Government Institutes, 2012.
http://searchworks.stanford.edu/view/10559010
Overview: Many Healthcare workers must deal on a daily basis with
the transportation, preparation, storage, clean up, and disposal of
cytotoxic drugs, which are used in chemotherapy because of their
harmful effect on cancer cells. These drugs also have harmful
effects on good cells, and they therefore pose a significant health
risk to those who work with them. Yet there is little safety and
health information available about them, and what information is
available is scattered across a vast array of literature. The Safety
and Health Handbook for Cytotoxic Drugs collects this information so
that healthcare workers can better understand the drugs they work
with and the safety and health procedures that should be followed.
In it, author Samuel J. Murff presents comprehensive technical and
procedural information on 106 of the most common cytotoxic drugs.
The book provides guidance on quickly dealing with spills, reducing
unnecessary exposure, and complying with pertinent regulations and
standards in order to better equip healthcare workers to maintain a
safe work environment.
Best regards,
GB

Anyone
have any SOPs they could share for the use of
chemotherapeutics? We??re primarily concerned
with their use in tissue culture and
compounding, diluting, etc., prior to animal
work. We found lots of info out there for
hospitals and human pharmacies that is not fully
applicable. I need to rewrite what we have and
some of the researchers are complaining that
"...we didn't need to do it that way when I was
at..." when we discussed it with them. Any input
greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
