Subject: [EXTERNAL] [MCOH-EH] USP 800 - WOEMA advisory statement
I am taking the USP 800 advisory statement to our legal department for review. Before doing so, I wanted to get a pulse check on where other organizations are on the medical surveillance issue. I realize I am oversimplifying with the
following categories and you may fall somewhere in between. Please vote:
- Not doing any medical surveillance
- Doing limited medical surveillance to only those with specific verified exposure to hazardous drugs as suggested by WOEMA
- Performing medical surveillance for employees with potential for exposure beyond what WOEMA recommends
I am happy to tabulate and share with the group.
p.s. I believe someone on this listserv already shared but in case you missed it, here is a link to the advisory statement from WOEMA
