Introduction: The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) and ASCO cohosted the Workshop on the Safe Handling of Hazardous Drugs on November 13, 2015, in Alexandria, Virginia. NIOSH is the US federal agency responsible for conducting research and making recommendations for the prevention of work-related injury and illness. ASCO is a national organization representing nearly 40,000 physicians and other health care professionals specializing in cancer treatment, diagnosis, and prevention. The Workshop focused on the history of guidance development for safe handling of hazardous drugs and challenges in development of guidance for worker safety. The goal was to promote information sharing and collaboration among stakeholders, including experts in occupational health, drug management and safety, cancer care, and research.
