L&I's rule on occupational exposure to hazardous drugs was
adopted on January 3, 2012 and will be officially published in the
Washington State Register in two parts on January 18 and
February 1.
The rule is being phased in over a period of time so that L&I can
work with employers and employees to prepare for implementing its
requirements. During this period L&I will establish a hazardous
drugs advisory committee, work with stakeholders to develop
model hazardous drugs control programs, and establish a webpage
where relevant informational materials are posted. The agency is
committed to provide regular communication to stakeholders. This
ListServ is one avenue for this communication.
