[MCOH-EH] Chemo Medical Surveillance

[Swift, Melanie]

Our esteemed colleague Dr. Russi at Yale drafted a letter to NIOSH on this subject last summer which encapsulates this quagmire nicely.
Mark, would you to share this with the list or do you mind if I share it (I have it handy, I read it often...)

Subject: [MCOH-EH] Chemo Medical Surveillance

I am an Employee Health Nurse at a hospital in Oregon. Do any of you do medical surveillance for staff administering or handling chemo drugs?
If so, can you please describe your policy. If not, can you please provide reasons why.
Thank you in advance for your answer.
