"The guidelines aim to provide a practical health and safety standard for the handling of cytotoxic drugs and related wastes in SA Health" -- p. 1.
With nearly six million health care workers handling hazardous drugs every year, and reports of contamination in the workplace rising since the early 1990s, the need for nurses to focus on safe handling education has become even more paramount. Safe Handling of Hazardous Drugs, now available in a new, third edition, offers the guidelines and techniques nurses need to safely handle these materials. Updated with new tables, figures, and format which allows for a more thorough discussion of the content, Safe Handling of Hazardous Drugs helps to translate the recommended procedures into safe practice for nurses who administer hazardous drugs in the care of patients. The book features important information on drug administration and preparation, risks of occupational exposure, disposal of hazardous materials, management of spills, safety measures, and staff education and training.
"The guidelines are intended to assist in minimising occupational exposures to cytotoxic drugs and related waste."--Page 1.
