Identifying areas with high levels of surface contamination can provide valuable information to mitigate employee and patient risk, improve facility engineering controls, and implement revisions to your current work practices.

Why Should You Test?

USP <800> was developed to promote patient and employee safety from exposure to hazardous drugs in the healthcare setting across multiple activities including but not limited to, receipt, dispensing, compounding/manufacturing, administration, and disposal.

Also, NIOSH(National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) recommends that employers develop a program to monitor the safety of employees working with hazardous drugs, By gathering baseline data, in addition to continuous monitoring, employers are able to assess the potential risk of exposure to hazardous drugs.

Who Should Test?

All organizations that handle hazardous drugs including pharmacies, hospitals, manufacturers, patient treatment clinics, and other healthcare institutions should test for surface contamination. 

When Should You Test?

Wipe sampling shall be performed initially to establish a baseline of surface contamination, then no less than every six months to verify containment.
