When must personnel be trained for the handling of hazardous drugs?

  1. Before handling hazardous drugs independently

  2. After one year of handling hazardous drugs

  3. Immediately after a spill occurs

  4. Only when the SOPs change

The correct answer is: Before handling hazardous drugs independently

Personnel must be trained for the handling of hazardous drugs before they handle them independently in order to ensure their safety and the safety of others. Waiting until after one year of handling hazardous drugs or only when the SOPs change could potentially put the personnel and others at risk if they are not properly trained. Immediately after a spill occurs, it may be too late to train personnel on how to handle hazardous drugs safely. Therefore, option A is the most appropriate and safe choice.
