USP General Chapter <800>
Hazardous Drugs—Handling

in Healthcare Settings

The United States Pharmacopeia General Chapter
<800> provides standards to protect personnel and
the environment when handling hazardous drugs. This
chapter describes practice and quality standards for
handling hazardous drugs (HDs) to promote patient
safety, worker safety, and environmental protection.

Handling HDs includes, but is not limited to, the
receipt, storage, compounding, dispensing,

administration, and disposal of sterile and nonsterile
products and preparations. This chapter applies to all
healthcare personnel who handle HD preparations and

all entities which store, prepare, transport, or
administer HDs (e.g., pharmacies, hospitals and other

healthcare institutions, patient treatment clinics,
physicians' practice facilities, or veterinarians' offices).

Personnel who may potentially be exposed to HDs
include, but are not limited to: pharmacists, pharmacy
technicians, nurses, physicians, physician assistants,

home healthcare workers, veterinarians, and
veterinary technicians.
