General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to the hazard of exposure to cytotoxic/antineoplastic drugs: a)The employer did not ensure that health care workers working with cytotoxic drugs (antineoplastic drugs) such as but not limited to bleomycin, cisplatin, dacarbazine, etoposide, fluorouracil, methotrexate, mitomycin, mitoxantrone, vinblastine, and vincristine were trained in proper handling procedures and/or spill procedures, and decontamination procedures. The Biological Safety Cabinet (BSC) was last certified in April 1998 and the certification expired in April 1999. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement to correct this hazard is to have the biological safety cabinet certified yearly, develop spill and decontamination procedures, install an eye wash in the immediate area and follow the guidelines established by the American Society of Hospital Pharmacist (ASHP), 1990, ASHP Technical Assistance Bulletin on Handling Cytotoxic and Hazardous Drugs, or the OSHA Technical Manual (TED 1.15) Section V:Chapter 2 Controlling Occupational Exposure To Hazardous Drugs.ous
