Healthcare workers’ exposure to antineoplastic drugs may occur through handling of the drugs and/or via contact with drug-contaminated surfaces. However, studies have been limited to select departments and/or certain job titles. This may lead to an underestimate of the risk as the drugs circulate within a facility known as the hospital medication system (process flow of drugs). This study aimed to answer the following questions related to antineoplastic drugs and the hospital medication system: 1) is contamination found on surfaces located throughout, 2) are workers throughout occupationally exposed (dermal and urinary contamination), and 3) what factors are associated with surface contamination and occupational exposure?
