These reports document how vial contamination, preparation, administration, disposal, and other HD handling activities may expose pharmacists, nurses, physicians, and other HCWs to potentially significant workplace levels of these chemicals. In addition, most antineoplastic agents are known or suspected to be present in breast milk (Briggs, 2014). For non-sterile compounding, the ventilated controls should be cleared of unnecessary supplies to avoid transfer of HD contamination to them during compounding tasks (USP 800, 2016). For the first time in its 50-year history, OSHA faces a new hazard so grave that it has killed nearly 600,000 Start Printed Page 32377 people in the United States in barely over a year, and infected millions more (CDC, May 24, 2021a).
