Waste Management

If despite all precautionary messures, spillage occurs during production or transport, the removal and disposal of the spilled cytotoxics should be performed by properly instructed personnel only. A spill management kit should be available in all areas where cytotoxic drugs are stored, transported, handled and administered.

Any material that has been in contact with cytotoxic drugs is considered as cytostatic waste and is - due to the toxic nature of the drug - hazardous waste that should be collected in specific containers that can be hermetically sealed after filling.
