Hazardous Drug Handling Facilities
Facilities that handle hazardous drugs must protect personnel and the environment as well as the product. That changes the engineering logic: containment primary engineering controls, negative-pressure rooms, externally vented exhaust, and a controlled route from receipt to waste are designed as one containment chain. The exact scope depends on the drugs, dosage forms, and activities in each project.
Engineering focus
- 01
Dedicated receiving and unpacking areas with negative-pressure hazardous storage
- 02
Containment PECs (BSC or CACI) in negative-pressure buffer rooms with external exhaust
- 03
Separate entry, PPE donning and doffing, and access control
- 04
Provisions for deactivation, decontamination, cleaning, and spill response
- 05
A segregated hazardous waste route, with holding and dispatch areas
