Which organization maintains a list of antineoplastic and other hazardous drugs?

• A. FDA
• B. NIOSH
• C. CDC
• D. DEA

Answer: (B)

The organization is the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health. NIOSH, part of the CDC, maintains the List of Hazardous Drugs in Healthcare Settings, which explicitly identifies antineoplastic and other hazardous drugs. This list guides healthcare facilities in implementing safe handling practices to minimize occupational exposure, including engineering controls, personal protective equipment, training, spill response, and surveillance.

Other organizations have different primary roles: the FDA oversees drug approval and labeling, the CDC conducts broad public health work, and the DEA enforces controlled substances laws. They do not maintain this specific hazardous-drug list.
