Safety in Every Step: Handling Hazardous Drugs Beyond the Standards
Live Webinar

Topic Designator: 07 – Compounding | Credit: 1.5 contact hours
This presentation will outline the required elements for the safe handling of hazardous drugs as well as the challenges in maintaining compliance. While hazardous drugs are essential for patient care, they pose significant risks to health care providers if not handled safely. Even low-level exposures can lead to long-term health effects. Following evidence-based safety practices and regulatory standards, like USP<800>, helps to protect staff, patients, and the environment. Safe handling is not just compliance—it is a commitment to the well-being of the entire health care team.
