Hazardous Drugs Handling

Hazardous drug handling refers to the precautions taken when working with medications that could cause harm to people or the environment due to their toxicity, carcinogenicity, or other risks. This involves using special equipment such as gloves, masks, and gowns, working in well-ventilated areas, and following strict procedures to prevent exposure. Proper disposal methods are also essential to protect workers, patients, and the community. The goal is to minimize health risks while ensuring the safe preparation, administration, and disposal of these potent medications.
