Abstract

In pharmaceutical compounding, ensuring the safety of staff in the workplace is an issue of prime importance to pharmacy owners and managers and the focus of international, federal, state, and local agencies charged with enforcing adherence to the prevention of job-related injuries and illnesses. In this third article in a 3-part series on hazard communications, fire- and life-safety codes established by authorities having such jurisdiction over U.S. businesses (including compounding facilities) are discussed, safety inspections are described, required fire-safety equipment is reviewed, and an effective safety plan that includes building evacuation is presented.
