Covidien introduces the ChemoPlus Training and Certification Program for compounding hazardous drugs. The new program provides education on safe-handling issues surrounding the occupational exposure of health care workers to hazardous drugs. The program incorporates recommended guidelines from OSHA, NIOSH, ASHP, and ONS regarding the type and characteristics of equipment to use to protect workers during compounding, transport, administration, and disposal. ChemoPlus includes a combination of self-study guides, DVDs, and hands-on practice in association with a facility's certifier. Certificates will be awarded to participants upon successful program completion.
