Final report
Metadatos de publicación
The aim of this study is to investigate options for protecting workers from exposure to hazardous medicinal products (HMPs), including cytotoxic medicinal products, that fall within the scope of the CMD (the Carcinogens and Mutagens Directive (2004/37 EC)). The study provides a comprehensive baseline analysis which leads to the assessment that in the EU today there are 1.8 million workers exposed to HMPs, of which not all are carcinogens or mutagens. The study concludes that the HMPs concerned (e.g. those which are carcinogens or mutagens) are within the scope of the CMD but observes deficiencies in the consequent implementation. The study identifies three drivers of this situation: 1) lack of legal clarity and unclear definitions of HMPs, 2) deficiencies in the flow and/or transfer of information and 3) lack of awareness and support tools. The study defines nine possible options for addressing these drivers. Based on a screening, three options were selected for further analysis: 1) add relevant pharmacotherapeutic groups of HMPs to Annex I of the CMD, 2) introduce central EU guidelines and standards of practice, and 3) prepare a definition of HMPs and prepare a list of HMPs and active agents that meet a certain definition. Illustrative estimations of costs and benefits are developed, but these are subject to much uncertainty due to knowledge and data gaps.
