USP <800> Monograph and Risk Readiness Checklist Bundle
The new USP <800> Monograph and Risk Readiness Checklist Bundle developed by American Society for Health Care Engineering and the American Society for Health Care Risk Management discusses the physical environment provisions of USP <800> and is primarily intended for the use of health care facility managers. The accompanying checklist helps users identify areas where opportunities exist to comply with required standards. The aim of USP <800> is to protect health care workers and patients from harm associated with exposure to hazardous drugs (HDs). Entities that handle HDs must incorporate the standards into their occupational safety plan.
