Sterile Compounding Lab Station 02: Hazardous Drug Garbing
This station provides hands-on training in donning and doffing hazardous drug (HD) garb in compliance with USP and best practices. Participants will learn the proper sequence for garbing and degarbing in a facility with a negative pressure hazardous buffer room and a positive pressure anteroom, reinforcing the importance of minimizing contamination risks. Additionally, the station will cover the assessment of risk for hazardous drugs, helping participants evaluate exposure risks and identify alternative containment strategies when full USP compliance may not be required.
