Introduction and Purpose
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is requesting comment on proposed additions and deletions to the list of hazardous drugs (Appendix A). The NIOSH Alert was published in September 2004 (http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2004-165/). Following the publication of the Alert, NIOSH reviewed 70 new FDA-approved drugs and approximately 60 that had received special warnings. NIOSH developed a list of approximately 60 drugs that appeared to fit the NIOSH definition for a hazardous drug. Following a public meeting, NIOSH posted the proposed list in the Federal Register in July 2007. NIOSH then convened a panel of 10 external reviewers to review the NIOSH list and the public comments. NIOSH reviewed the comments from the external reviewers and revised the proposed list to 24 additions and one deletion.
