Comparison of antineoplastic drug handling policies of hospitals with OSHA guidelines: a pilot study.

B Valanis, K Driscoll and V McNeil

Center for Health Research, Kaiser Permanente, Portland, OR 97215.

Hospital antineoplastic drug handling policies of 24 hospitals in eight Southwestern Ohio counties were compared with recommendations of the 1986 Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) guidelines. Although most study facilities where antineoplastics are handled have policies, content varies and is generally less complete than OSHA guidelines, particularly regarding storing, transporting, and disposing of drugs; managing equipment; informing personnel of risk; and surveillance. Recommendations for personal protection concur more closely with OSHA guidelines than do other content areas.
