2 Safe Handling of Hazardous Medication First approved in October 2007 as the Safe Handling of Cytotoxic Medications Policy and focused mainly on the handling of IV chemotherapy. In July 2012 a revision of the policy included ALL hazardous medications, both cytotoxic and non-cytotoxic, and information about handling ALL dosage forms of these medications.
3 This current revision (2015) reflects current national and international safe handling guidelines. It also addresses the special considerations around handling cytotoxic medications in the long term care and community home care sectors. There are some changes that affect ALL staff.
4 Learning Objectives: To outline the new procedures in this policy. To review some of the key procedures that still exist.
5 What s New: Policy is now Level 1 It is applicable to all WRHA governed sites and facilities. Chemo gloves AND chemo gown are required when administering parenteral cytotoxic medications. Face/eye protection & shoe covers are recommended whenever there is potential for splashing. (See Appendix A, pg. 10)
6 What Else is New: IV infusion bags containing cytotoxic medications cannot be spiked at the patient bedside to prevent inadvertent contamination of the area. (pg. 6, #4.10) Statement added about labelling of diagnostic specimens and requisitions to alert respiratory and laboratory staff acquiring samples and performing tests on the samples. (pg. 5, #3.12) Recommendation that outpatient prescriptions are clearly noted as cytotoxic medications when written. (pg. 4, #3.10)

(pg. 5, #3.14) Spills of blood/body fluids of a patient on cytotoxic precautions should be treated as a cytotoxic spill.
