Niosh List
LIST OF ANTINEOPLASTIC AND OTHER HAZARDOUS DRUGS IN HEALTHCARE SETTINGS
The NIOSH list of Hazardous drugs contains antineoplastic and other HDs used in healthcare. An entity must maintain a list of HDs, which must include any items on the current NIOSH list that the entity handles. The entity’s list must be reviewed at least every 12 months. Whenever a new agent or dosage form is used, it should be reviewed against the entity’s list. The NIOSH list of antineoplastic and other HDs provides the criteria used to identify HDs. These criteria must be used to identify HDs that enter the market after the most recent version of the NIOSH list, or that the entity handles as an investigational drug. If the information available on a drug is deemed insufficient to make an informed decision, consider the drug hazardous until more information is available
