Fact Sheet: Handling Hazardous Drug Contaminated Linen
This guidance serves as a practical resource to help healthcare facilities and laundry operations understand how linen fits into broader hazardous drug safety and USP 800 considerations. It brings together regulatory context, handling principles, and operational considerations in one place to support awareness, coordination, and informed decision-making. While not a substitute for facility policies, it is designed to help teams align expectations, reduce exposure risk, and communicate clearly across departments involved in linen use, transport, and processing.
