NIOSH evaluation of hazardous drugs does not cover NIOSH classification of chemical carcinogens. Although NIOSH hazardous drug evaluation includes consideration of carcinogenicity and genotoxicity, this evaluation is tailored to identify and evaluate data from human toxicity profiles, animal studies and in vitro studies unique to evaluating therapeutic agents. For example, NIOSH consults a variety of resources including, but not limited to, safety data sheets, product labeling approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and databases such as DailyMed and DrugBank. For more information on NIOSH classification of chemical carcinogens see "NIOSH Chemical Carcinogen Policy," .
